    Hi Ladies,
    Oh Lu, and to do all this alone. Hugs babes.
    We watched a movie called "Adam" on the weekend. It was about a young man with Asperger's and his journey through a small period within his life. His father had passed away and he was left all alone. He befriends a new neighbour (a female), and she guides him through some tough times during that period. It was funny and sad. It was funny as to some of the things he would say, yet sad, knowing that many of our kids (and mine) will have to go through some degreeness of what he did.
    It gave me an insight, as to what my boy might be like as an adult.
    Highly recommended movie, just to give us an insight into the future.

    Oh Christy...**hugs**

    Love

    Just coming in to have a HUGE whine about the fact its WAAAYYYY easier to get support for spectrum kids if they are in a government school. Mitch isn't so apparently its TOO FRICKEN BAD FOR HIM.

    Lu I hear ya. We chose to not worry about an aide or anythign because it wasn't necessary at that time. I suppose with M if she needs more assistence in time, we will have to reevaluate. They have altered somethings for her, but I guess our school is so small , its not as noticable?

    I would have thought private schools would be better able to get extra help and would have more money ? That's terrible he'll get nothing- mind you we are having so much trouble getting teachers aides at the moment and trained ones are like gold dust.
