James also never returned home after finishing at uni albeit he hasn't moved too far away but he is now better placed for commuting for employment than if he had stayed in the village.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Um... Not sure how much I want to talk about here tbh ��
Fir had a couple of great career moves, and is somewhere he loves right now.
My greyhound died. We have another little dog. It's weird owning small dogs only.
Some horrid person made me join face book. I am connected to s couple of nice people that way but I am not so forthcoming there. I mainly post dog pictures and like art things and animals0 -
Sorry to hear about the dog, I've still got my cat now called Jasper the annoying alarm clock as he wakes me up at the same time (5 minutes after my old alarm used to go off) every morning for biscuits.We made it!

Welcome back Pobby!
Stilling plodding on here. Kids growing up. Don't seem to be getting any closer to retirement.

Great to hear that FIR is doing well, and commiserations on loss of DogDog.
Doglet also died and is buried in our garden, with a couple of lavender plants on top. She was sleeping a lot in the months before she died and became increasingly reluctant to go for walks.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

I must admit to being slightly more reticent regarding posting stuff either on Facebook or here recently. Not sure if it is to do with my mental health where I tend to go into hideaway mode when on a downward slope or if I have just become more paranoid about my life being known.
My Facebook now consists of the odd post about the boys and old family photos that my dad insists on me putting up so other family members can see them.We made it!

lostinrates How lovely to "see" you :T So sorry to hear about DogDog though Great news re fir
pobby Nice to "meet" you! I don't think we've met before 0 -
Nice to meet you too.
Quite a lot has happened. Will keep it brief.
After my mental breakdown, I was declared unfit to work so early retirement at 61. Took a long while to get well. Luckily I had no problem with Atos.
Then my bro in law leaves my wifes sister for some one else. She could no way keep up the mortgage or indeed down size to something affordable. 4 cats and an immature 18 year old to look after.
Engaging a good solicitor we managed to get a good deal for her and my wife and I decided to buy him out. A 3 bed detached in the south east is not cheap, however, he this was just before a really sharp increase due to the London rail link. Certainly would not be an option now.
Although we are still in Plymouth we do intend to move there permanently.
Next comes the news I may have bowel cancer. Part of my bowel was removed and it was cancer but the hospital sent me home with the wound infected. Back in within a few days and they re operate. Success, apart from a large hernia making me look 8 months pregnant.
Next, a scan suggests stomach cancer. After tests and a reluctant biopsy, it proved negative and got the all clear this January.
So now getting stuff ready to move.0
