Yes they have a point. But to say it to anyone is incredibly insensitive. Imagine the flaming one would get if one posted that in general. And quite rightly. But this is not some anonymous talk board. This is IRL.

I dunno, it's only news because it was a helicopter. If it was a car crash it wouldn't even make local news in London.

My son is blind and autistic. I couldn't handle 2 of him!!

Great post. Puts my issues in perspective.

I didn't know you worked with SY01.

Deepest sympathies.

That must hard work.

Are both your kids autistic BP?

Yikes.

I have 3 children - both boys are autistic. The girl is "normal". Whatever "normal" means. I suspect there are other parents of 10 year old girls who will sympathize with my plight - and point out she will get ALOT worse before she gets better. I remember some of EO's posts <shudders>

Ask yourself how you would like your two to be treated when they grow up an are in the work place.

Article the other day who autism can be cured. Alas the article was bollox - doctors have got no clue. It can be contained - one can divert brain power into conquering autism.

And that is what my children will do. The elder child will soon start on NLP. I watch carefully and point out his mistakes - just between us. The younger child is a totally hopeless case - even more annoying than assguru/zardoze as that moment. But that will change.....

First day of the Blitz there were 430 people killed and 1,600 badly injured. It's strange that as a nation we have lost that stoicism in the face of tragedy & agonise over relatively small matters

I first noticed it during the Diana wailing and gnashing of teeth although it appears to have been building up for some time

Stoicism is good. No need for wailing. It should just not be waved around.

I feel worried that I see his point.

It's a fair point. 2 dead. I'd guess more pedestrians and cyclists than that die in or around vauxhall cross every year.
