    Is it unusual for him to get his own things then? He's autistic, isn't he? Does this mean that he is showing some awareness of himself and the needs of others? Sorry, three questions! He is changing, little by little, I think. I remember the way he handled the tooth episode - very cool, calm and collected. Good for you, only49, you're doing a good job with him. Dreamdaisy

    he got no idea of time, he sees things very black and white, for example there must have been a break in one episode to the next one and he thought that it had finished, he knows what time it is by whats on the tv at a given time, for example dora the explora and then pepper pig, and if they change the programes it really throws him, hence why routine and strucure but i usually try to get there first meaning check on the order of the programes that day.

    and i dont mind you asking me any questions its really nice that you are asking we do come across people that should know better
    or dont want to know, hence why i live the phrase people in glass houses should'nt throw stones, and in life you dont know what ahead of you and have to take it as it comes.

    I have taught a couple of dyslexic autistics, one was far more challenging than the other. I admire your patience and love, they can be such difficult children, but when something lovely happens it is all worthwhile.

    So D os one for structure and routine, hey? That can be very demanding to live with but I'm sure you find ways around it. How old is he?

    There was a good article in The MAil on Sunday this week about a three year old autistic boy and horseriding. It should be somewhere on the internet, I'd have thought. I'm not as good as you at this internet malarkey! Have a lovely evening. Dreamdaisy.

    he 14 a typical teenager full on and rather cheeky, but i love him to bits and would never ever want to be without him, life just so different and i'm so used to him and his ways i dont know what a normal teenager is as to me he is just him, i send you a photo of him via a PM
