The speech therapy where Alex goes has a jumpoline with mattresses of foam pieces and Alex loves it. He also likes to be wrapped up in a cot sheet and says sometimes that he 'can't feel himself' - especially at bed time. I've started giving him 20 firm massage like strokes and make sure he is tucked in firmly.

I think that kinda and creche - they like how the routine is the same and that they're all doing pretty much the same thing and that they can watch the others if they're not sure. I'm hoping school is just a bigger version of that.

I've also heard that the helping children with autism funding is being extended to three years, has anyone else heard this ?
