The joys of autistic children

[cailin maith]

Indeed. Mrs BP saw a kid at legoland with a t-shirt saying "I am okay - just autistic". She jokingly talked about getting one for baby BP! I hope she won't though - it is other people's problem and not his.

I know it's ages since I spent some time with baby BP but he is such a happy little fella, just happens to be in his own world most of the time. Not his fault that his world doesn't interact well with everyone elses world!!

Mrs BP is a saint but I honestly think that's for putting up with you, the kids are a walk in the park!!

No no... a tamborine!!

Karaoke machine - that's what every child needs.

Or a drum kit.

And another thing. Last Sunday we went to church. Mrs BP took baby BP into the children's section - against my advice as she suffers from embarrassment. baby BP was at his worst ever. Mrs BP starts getting glares from other parents. I complained to the persion in charge of children's section - after all baby BP cannot help it.

Why are there so few Christians in church?

The last time anyone complained in my church my reply was that they were speaking to the wrong person and really should ask the vicar to speak up a bit.

Since then only 1 person has ever made a comment about children to me and in that case the vicar told the organist where to go.

Is that before or after the Scalextric, Train set and remote control cars/planes/boats?

A friend of mine bought DD1 one for her first birthday. It's still going strong, just about.

Mrs BP walking our autistic son to school with a girl of same age that my wife childminds for. The both run off. My wife calls them back and tells them to stay with her. The girl runs off again. My wife screams at her "Why don't you listen? You are worse than my son and he is stupid". Right on cue our son says "swimming pool".

He is 4 years old. The outward intelligence of a one year old in the body of a seven year old. Great.

I was watching DIYSOS big build the other week and they did a house for a lady with an autistic boy, and when he he wanted to be alone or got stressed he went down to a shed at the bottom of the garden and played with road signs and cones, he so disliked attention that they had to leave before all the builders turned up, as part of the build they put up a new shed and set it up with traffic lights and road signs and cones, at the end the lady and the boy went out front to see all the builders who had worked on the house and everyone was crying she was crying all these big builders were crying and the lad looks at them all and shouts "I HAVE TRAFFIC LIGHTS"
