In my day, no-one knew I had autism (apart from possibly me for about one week) and I was bullied quite a lot - doubtless because I behaved slightly differently to everyone else, although I didn't even realise that I did at the time. I've come out of it quite well - bizarrely, things in adulthood, which weren't personally about me, affected me more long-term.

Anyway. I'm not always so sure (but then I'm never "sure" about anything - as a pure technicality) about informing people you have autism. Because it then gives the opportunity to people who are nasty to use it to their advantage against you - they know you don't have negotiation skills and can use that fact to their advantage. I also have trouble sometimes working out people's intentions - and, again, those with bad intentions can use that knowledge, that you are autistic, in their favour by taking advantage of you when they know that you might not realise that that is their intention.

On the other hand (and I know I've written far more just now about the downside), if people generally are not intentionally nasty, then knowing you have autism can be a great advantage as they understand you better and are less likely to make fun or pick on you because of your differences. It helps create understanding (although I've nowadays always found it weird that people would need to "understand" me, when, it seems to me, everything I do is completely logical and right and I can't really understand how people would need to understand something that was so straightforward. Obviously, everyone else is on another planet and I'm right:rotfl::rotfl:)!

Best of luck whatever the situation. I wouldn't worry about, or take any notice of, what I've said here. I think I'd go along with what the school suggested - seems to be a good idea. But what do I know, and I wouldn't go there 'all guns blazing' and, as I am sure, you won't do that anyway. These things come naturally to you, I think!:rotfl:

Bless you :I knew you'd answer.....eventually I never bothered you for an answer because I prefer to see what your perspective is 'off the cuff'

I know you've been in this situation and I'm helped greatly by how candid you've been about it :A I'm dreading tomorrow, I won't lie

But I am cheered by the fact that the lady I spoke to today recognises I won't go in there shaking my fist and protecting my boy to the hilt ( which is normal parental behaviour) I get the impression these kids aren't your normal bullying behaviour kids. The school are taking the approach they are because they think these kids will benefit from it.

ive written a list

Thanks Savvy your input helps a lot.

I'm to my sofa now from where I'll be awoken feeling like poop in the morning

Thanks savvy :A

Picked up a few bits in asda today for a non-glitchy shop. Handed over my small apg and young sa said I can't take that as from today you need to buy 8 items to use an APG!. Really I said(lol). Apparently she was told this by a manager this morning. I said perhaps she would like to call someone over to confirm this and she said well I will let you use just this once! I said are you sure you are not getting confused that you need to buy 8 items to get an apg and she looked at me blank!

52p on tcb for price for your car with we buy any car. Takes under a minute to do - every little helps.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: And there was me - having no trouble paying for entire shops with an APG! I have one SA, though, that seems to get confused about the 10% - seems to think that you get 10% off your Mr A bill or something:rotfl:. I can only wonder what some will make of the new-style new site vouchers.

I had a young lad last time that was new (probably the reason I picked him lol:rotfl:) and hadn't been trained yet - so, he called off the person from the next till, and had some on-the-spot training there and then:cool: - accepted my voucher no problem, she showed him all about how to do it - didn't do it very well in my view - if I were doing it, I'd have scribbled over the used receipt far far more, but then that's just me being pedantic. :oI kept my gob shut. Don't want to slow things down:eek::eek:! (:rotfl: I fought the urge to correct everything and put everything completely right...sometimes, or often, I've learnt (long ago fortunately!) that it's best just to say nothing and not notice. Even though I did notice - I always do! I suspect most people deal with this sort of situation by failing to notice anything in the first place:rotfl::rotfl: . Easy enough for people generally to do... but me, when in a way it's like all your senses are turned up to high (that's "to" high, not "too high";)), I can't fail to notice! I think other people on the spectrum have much greater sensory difficulties, based on 'senses being turned up to high' (or even, for them, too high), than I do - in fact it doesn't really bother me at all... I just notice things, and that's it.)

I was told that I couldn't use apg for more than 10% payment of a shop, I sent the sa to check and she came back and said "I will let you use it this time " lol.

How about this for a new/old bonkers results :rotfl:

new apg has the cumberland comparing to '2 for £3' and cby pork as the '2 for £1.20' !



remember from old apg...

2 x ASDA Chosen by You Pork Sausages (8 per pack - 454... £2.16 £3.00
2 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Cumberland Sausages (8 pe... £3.10 £1.20

perhaps as the 4hrs take us past midnight :think:
:rotfl: who knows

1p less on my dove(+baby food) shop when using new apg, dove didn't magically improve for me

if pic isn't clear enough: the only difference is that my brocolli was 2p on old, 3p on new :rotfl:



At least baby food is still working on both

Oh. So...buy Cumberland on the old and straight Pork (rather than Thick Irish Pork for example) on the new!:rotfl::rotfl:
For now... who knows if the new will suddenly change on us one day?, and there's no way to see from msm.

It's clearly not (wholly) devised by A to resolve anything or put stops to glitches (which the 2 for £1.20 price in Sains on the Cumberland sausages is not)... as sometimes the new is working in their favour, sometimes it's working against them.

Lucky people that have both... separate your shops!:D:D:rotfl: (One with your Cumberlands in and one with your Pork Sausages:rotfl:;).)

I only went and caught up and saw your OP in the last hour!:cool::rotfl:

I wouldn't worry about it being five of them (trust me you're more equipped to speak, orally, to a group than I am - the whole problem of my condition is communication (it's a communication disorder) and a "careful thinking about what you say before you say it", which slows me down - or I often lose my train of thread in speech and fail to make the relevant point that I could easily do when writing things down. Most people do not seem to have this problem!).

I'd just speak to them as normal people (if only I could get my words out, and in the 'right' tone, all the time:rotfl:) - just speak to them normally, appropriate to their age, and work on the assumption that they aren't nasty, they just don't know. I think most people aren't intentionally nasty, unless they have got something wrong with them. Kids tend to be kids - they are cruel; they don't realise and it's because they don't realise, that they are cruel, rather than intending to be that way! I would hope - perhaps I am too naive in my thinking that way, but I'd hope it was true.

EDIT: There you are, I've dealt comprehensively with every point in your OP now!:cool::rotfl:

btw have you seen the ben and jerries offer ?



example product from msm..



£2.74 back on £3 spend maybe

..As the products are also '2 for £6' I don't think this is going to last all day, but then again only 3 products in the multi at the moment.
