The joys of autistic children

That makes your wee smell funny

I thought that was Sugar Puffs?

Now there's an experiment.......

I once asked if you take enough food colouring would it colour your pee?
A mother answered instantly "yes" as both her sons had downed a bottle each to try this very experiement (think they were 8 & 10) apart from a dodgy tum, it proved very successful.

So combine all 3 - then go to the Docs....

Aspergus isn't the same as severe autism.

And I didn't say it was!

Your son sounds great. Yesterday morning the first thing the wife said was "white rabbits". It's supposed to be lucky if that's the 1st thing you say on the 1st of month. Unfortunately I forgot, as usual, having within 1 minute of getting up said bummety growl, bummety growl, banana nana nana nana. (to the tune of the Captain Pugwash theme obviously) No luck this month again.

He is certainly a very happy boy. Easily the happiest boy at nursery. I hope either he remains completely in his own little world or he gains enough savvy to be in the real world.

MF is not wee, he is extremely "big-boned".
But you are right, he does smell funny.

There's a few on here who are 'blissfully unaware'.

Yeah, but I thought he had flounced?

Is he getting any treatment?

Is he getting any treatment?

Yes. The state pays for a nursery place and once a week a special needs teacher comes in to make suggestions as to how he can be encouraged to interact. We have begun the statementing process - you can't get statemented until you start school but it will happen fairly quickly.

We get disability living allowance which helps alot too. Both kids are bad enough for us to get the medium rate!

It is far better than his older brother - now 9 - who was not diagnosed until 6 and took 2 years to get help. With 1-2-1 help he is doing very well. But his big issue is lack of self confidence - he treats himself like the world's biggest idiot. I wish I could mix his confidence with sasguru's then we might get 2 semi-normal people.
