Aspergers/Autism/Sensory Integration Chatter

[~Saram~]

Christy - thanks we can all feel 'normal' together :-)

Maz - you crack me up! I think I responded with a "he's fine" and turned my back on her - I was so over it by then. The little man is getting it back together today and school went well apparently. He got his pokemon book from Bookclub so has been engrossed in that all day and is currently curled up in bed with it.

Spice - thank you for your different perspective and can I say from a mother with a child with aspergers - thank you for loving your partner!!!! It gives me so much hope that DS will find a lovely (and patient) lady and enjoy having a family of his own - if he wants too.

Literal sayings - DS put the fan on tonight and I asked him to turn it down so I didn't get blown away and promptly got a lecture on gravity and how that is physically impossible due the force of gravity on our bodies however if we were in space............ such a cutie.

*groan* picture this... you just get home from an overstimulation episode at the shops which you were at for 15 minutes, because you had too. Then you get home & next door there are people with chainsaw's cutting down trees!!! At midday!!!!

So I now have 1 NT (normal) toddler who is over tired and screaming because she wants to sleep... and 1 over stimuated 4 yr old who has panic attacks with loud noises screaming because there have been chain saws going for the last 45 minutes outside.

Christy - get an MP3 player and always have it on hand woman...and as for the nextdoor neighbour..i would have throw rocks at them

Sarah - I have the same worries about Wilhelm.....I pray and hope that he finds a partner that loves him for the person he is and see's through all the abnormalities. Its to painful for me to think about him not growing old with the love of his life and having his own children when I see how he is with his baby brother.

Spice - Yes...thank you...for allowing us to believe that our babies will to find the love they deserve. Its so beautiful to hear that you have except your DH for everything he is. My worry is that Wilhelm will 'pass' on his traits if he has children so its so lovely to hear that it isnt so. thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

Now on a happy not *wiping away tears* - Wilhelm has had a hair cut WOO HOO!! his carer at school is a qualified hair dresser and I told her that he hasnt been in over a year and she asked if she'd likeher to try to cut it if I aloud it...HELL YES!!!! so my darling has got nicely trimmed hair to which he told me its sick and need's panadol.

Also had a PSG meeting at the school and they have informed me that they are starting a piolet program next year for 5 of their 'special guys' . 2 days a week they will be in a special class room wer they learn things like self grooming, social etiquet and what we all consider normal day to day things. their even thinking putting the kids in swimming lessons so they can learn to swim. I am so wrapped!

ok enough from me...but befoer i go, if your wondering why their acting haywire again

ITS A FULL MOON!!!!!!!!

That's so funny Maz - I remembered you said that last month when we were all having problems and last night I was outside feeding the dog (at midnight - poor bugger) and I noticed that bloody moon and thought - Maz was right! How did that month go soo fast BTW????
