oh ok ,, ye spose you have to be careful when they are little and wanting to chew everything,,, ok ,,,who has she gravitated towards most?

Also are you going in to her while she is making noise? if you are she will associate making noise gets you to come see her. try waiting till she is quiet and go in pay her some attention and then leave, I know it sounds daft but they connect things,, make noise people come, so try to just go when its quiet.

She can howl for 4 hours solid without a break, trying to keep her awake for an hour or two before bedtime tonight hoping she will sleep.

She finally nods off about 2.30 am. We ignore her as we have been told to do but seeing we have been going to bed about 10 cos we are knackered it makes for a long night.

She has taste, she wont leave me alone;) follows me all the time, if i sit down she lays at my feet with her head on my foot, if i move so does she.

she may be missing her mom.

put a little wind up alarm clock under a blanket close to where she sleeps, this sounds like her mother`s heartbeat and it may help her sleep thinking her mom is beside her.

I was forced to ask a wood floor salesman to come into my house to give an estimate. This has got to be one of the single worst experiences of my life.

I have been intruded upon and violated in the worst way.

The stress alone this morning in anticipation of someone knocking on my door was unbearable. The waiting and wondering how Im expected to greet them, not knowing if there would be small talk required was too much for me.

Im a total wreck.

I was thinking about leaving a note on the unlocked door telling them to come in and if they need anything we could communicate via me in a room upstairs.

I will never, ever make an appointment at my home again.

No cookie selling girl scouts, no Jehovas Witnesses, no city council candidates. My front door is off limits for now and ever more.

I do not need that kind of trouble in my life.

This day flooded my fragile mind with memories of the welcome wagon lady trauma 3 years ago.

Nice thread this is.. I like the information.

Oh man! :-1

I'm wondering why life has to be so bloody cruel sometimes

I talk to myself a lot.

My wife was wondering how that will work when I achieve senility.

I got to thinking:

So if I tell myself something, and then forget, and say it again, will myself remember that I said it before and complain, or will it be new to me as well?

Assuming I remember who I was talking to in the first place.

Yes ... I had my first assessment a couple of weeks ago. It went really well. I sat all weekend marking all the stuff off on my grids. Now I can see exactly where my gaps are and what I need to do.

There is still lots of writing to do but at least my head is clear now.

I'm aiming to finish at the end of May.

Its a kooky kooky world we live in.

I've been waiting for an answer to a simple question for over a week.

The person who needs to answer it still hasn't done so :-5



Perhaps I should pelt them with rotten eggs

So this really isn't as random as one might think.

But then, what is?

15 weeks of my course left and oh so much work still to do.

Eeek!

I'm doing some research on autism for part of my course.

It's fascinating!

My new under cover alias is Nikita.

Please respect my wishes by addressing me as Nikita and only as Nikita.

I bet it is, come and stay and you can do a living study on my son, although I guess he is quite mildly autistic compared to some, but it's still enough to impact on our lives. :-6

Don't tempt me Ms Boop! There is a little girl in one of my groups, I would describe her as mildy autistic. She is an amazing child. She fascinates me so I've decided to do some research and write an essay

Cool, good luck.

You can come here any time, no excuse needed, you know that :-4

Back to essays myself, two weeks until the end of term and a realisation that I no longer have any life outside of study :wah:

I have a child in my class with PDA which is a part of the autism spectrum. The children I have worked with, who have autism/ PDA/ Aspergers are actually incredibly bright - usually the smartest children in the class. Sadly, they also have problems which hamper them. My Aspergers child didn't like people looking at him or watching him and everything had to be exact - you had to do things in order and he didn't like unexpected change. My PDA children insist that others follow the rules but don't think that the rules apply to them, they also constantly interrupt and are constant attention-seekers. They can't help it, it's part of their condition.

It's amazing how vast the autism spectrum is and what a wide variety of areas it covers.

I believe Einstein, Newton and Mozart were considered to be a part of the autistic spectrum also, which illuminates just how bright these children can be!

I'm off to bed. Dont stay up all night. Keys in the door. Can you make sure you lock up before you turn in ?

Goodnight

Rapunzel;1298454 wrote: I believe Einstein, Newton and Mozart were considered to be a part of the autistic spectrum also, which illuminates just how bright these children can be!Not only them, but people such as Carl Jung, Lucile Ball, Bruce Springsteen, Robin Williams, George Carlin, Jonathan Winters, Dan Akroyd - and the list goes on and on. In fact, there are several people who frequent this forum that are most likely on the Autism spectrum but don't realize it. Its good that you use the word 'condition' instead of 'disorder', because its not a disorder or a disease to be cured.

Temple Grandin is quite a story. Last month HBO aired a movie about her. It was well done. Clare Danes played Grandin in the movie.

Another good movie to watch is Adam.

Is it coincidence that the increase of neuro-developmental disorders

(eg. autism, ADHD, SIDS & the like) coincide with the time of increased vaccinations? There's no actual 'safe' level of mercury (thermisol) that can or should be injected into a child's body let alone the numerous other toxic ingredients that make up vaccines.

There's also plenty of evidence to suggest that environment plays a big role in the cause of these disorders as well.

The toxins abound. They are in our drinking water, processed foods, plastics, even concentrations of metals in the air has been linked to autism. Hard to avoid all this stuff & of course mainstream media is about the 'worst' source of truth regarding this or most any other matter.

One has to be really vigilant about doing their best to avoid as much of this nasty stuff as possible.

With the exception of emergency treatments, western medicine is a farce.

Many cases of Autism have been treated successfully, compliments of homeopathy:
