Hi everyone,
Sorry it's been so long since I last wrote, but like a lot of people
I've been suffering from BTS syndrome. What I hear you ask is that?
Well it's what a lot of parents have when their children go Back To
School and it's worse for As children and their parents. As usual we
are back on the detention, exclusion merryround, not knowing from one
day to the next whether their child will be at school or not.
Apologies for not welcoming our new members sooner, but I promise I
will be in touch as soon as I can. On a more local note, we are
compiling a list of useful agencies such as The Carers Association
among others. This is featured on the website and will continue to
grow as more are added. We would like your help in this. If you can
send us a list of any agency that YOU have found to be helpful in any
way (yes - there are some!) let us know their name and area and we
can post it.
Also there is a possibility that a name change may happen. At the
moment it is still under discussion and I'll let you all know about
it when it happens or not. In the meantime look after yourselves and
take care.
Linda.
Hello SEAS!
Does anyone use this group?
We're still trying to keep it together with my wife's son (25, AS). He's
been harassing us for money and finally attacked us yesterday. Social
services are useless. Although he lives in adult-fostering he's also taken
to coming to our house at 2 am in the morning for the last 7 days, demanding
money. We're exhausted, anxious and scared.
Things were as bad in September, culminating in him being sectioned for 2
days. We are at our wits end. Have any of you folks been through anything
similar? Any ideas?
Best wishes
Simon
Check the Audit Commission report on the case of SEN children in
schools. Seems that schools don't want special needs children in case
it affects the league table position. What a surprise! We could have
told them that.
Hi,
Just joined the group - my son is 10 years old and has Aspergers. He
is the middle of 3 boys, so we have a lively life!
He is in mainstream school at the moment, but we are having problems
as the school dont want to admit that he has a problem, as he is
doing fine academically, but has big problems elsewhere. This year
has been the most difficult yet - his brother moved up to High School
in Spetember so one of his big supports at school is not there now.
Would be great to hear from anyone else, sometimes you feel at the
end of your tether when no one else seems to understand how stressful
it is having a child with an ASD

Welcome Beth,
My step-son is 26 with AS. We¹ve had a terrible year (or 7).
Keep in touch,
Best wishes
Simon
Hi every body,
Just a note to wish you all as happy a Christmas as possible and to
wish you well for the New Year.
Sorry I haven't been in touch lately but I am sure you can understand
the reasons for that. The group is going well with another new member
and we shall also be updating the website with a page for teachers,
pointing out some of the problems they will face. If you would like
to add to this with your experiences please let me know.
One of our members has recently given a talk to a seminar organised
by Psychology services in Southampton. He recently had letter from
them to say that the participants found it very helpful and
enlightening.
Seas will be taking this a step further by producing a leaflet for
all schools, so that at least our children will be better understood.
Again if you would like to contribute - let me know.
See you all in 2003. Good luck and DON'T ever let anyone get you down.
Bye for now,
Linda.
Just a note to say that there was an item on our local tv news
tonight about a lad who has effectively been told that he is excluded
from mainstream school. His mother made the point that the school is
not really interested in taking children with SEN because it affects
their league table position.
So, I've just mailed the television company, Meridian, to tell them
that it is quite normal for that to happen. If you are able to
receive Meridian, why not keep an ear open to see if they run
anything about it? Obviously any news I get will be seen here first.
To add weight to the arguement, why not mail them yourselves at
news@...
Who knows, the louder we shout, the sooner we are listened to.
Take care all of you.
Linda.
P.S We have added a Hints and tips page to the website with a view to
helping those in education understand our kids better. Please check
it out and anything you want to add, let me know.
Hi,
We have just had a completely depressing meeting at school where the
SENCO announced that in her (expert after reading one book) opinion
all that is wrong with Phillip is that we, his parents, indulge him
in his 'attention seeking'. I did manage not to lose it completely,
but we are facing an uphill struggle in getting him statemented.
How has anyone else coped with this total stupidity. We do have the
support of his doctor, psycotherapist, speech & language therapist
etc. and she did say this in front of the occupational therapist who
was also having a struggle to get them to accept he has motor skills
problems, after them admitting that he has problems writing, catching
a ball etc.
Help!
Dear friends - this may be useful to some of you/us....

How do you fancy a chat? A chance to let off steam in real time
instead of e-mail. Or how about somewhere to go and just have a good
gossip about anything but the problems we are having. You know the
sort of thing, last nights Corrie or any other soap. Why not let me
know when you can make it and we'll have a gossip in the chatroom.
Just click on "Chat" and it should load from there (so I've been
told!) Trouble is no one knows when anyone else is available. So I
thought if we could agree a day and time, why not talk amongst
ourselves and get to know each other better?
Have a think and let me know if you would like to do this, or whether
you think it's a bad idea or any other suggestions you may have.
Take care,
Linda.
Hi everyone, hope you all coped well with half term. Just a note to
say that some more links have been added to the group Links section.
They range from respite (KIDS), Crohns, and a Christian Carers
Fellowship. Please also remember that you don't have to let someone
else put up a link. If you know of somewhere that might be of help to
anyone else, then please feel free to add it. We can even add it to
the web page ( always nice when their is a recommendation).
Take care and speak soon,
Linda.
Hiya,
My name is Linda, i'm a manager in a out of hours activity based kids
club. We cater for children from 4 to 12 yrs of age. We get a
whole range of children coming thru our setting. Two of which have
infact been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. I am in fact in the
process of enrolling on various courses appertaining to special
needs, and am also helping out at another kidsclub, which offers
respite care in the holidays for children with special needs.
The problem I am facing at the moment is at home. My boyfriends
eldest son (now aged 13) has always been labelled a problem child.
But his behaviour, attitude and learning difficulties have never been
looked into. When my boyfriend has tried to seek help, he has just
been fobbed off. So his son has been labelled as a stressy child.
E.T.C.
Well with me working with children and doing various courses and also
coming across children with special needs, I am gaining more
knowledge.
Yesterday, I was infact on a course for Behaviour Management which
was delivered by the SEN SUPPORT TEAM. They gave us a brief insight
into ADD, ADHD and Asperger Syndrome. For each condition there was a
check list.
The one for Asperger is as follows:
Asperger Syndrome
Put simply, a name describing difficulties of someone who has
specific problems with communication and social behaviour. There
are 3 main kinds of difficulties that pupils with ASPERGER SYNDROME
may have to face. The following list gives an idea of what this can
mean for the child.
· Problems making friends/getting on with people.
· Difficulty understanding what other people need and how they
feel.
· Speaking to people in an inappropriate way.
· Not knowing when to stop and start talking.
· Having problems looking at someone in the eyes.
· Seeming loud, rude or silly.
· Poor understanding of social situations including
conversation strategies.
· Giggling for no apparent reason.
· Misunderstanding of language e.g. don't `get' jokes.
· Inflexible thinking – must follow certain routines.
· Become upset if routines changed
· Obsessional interest in one subject/hobby to exclusion of
everything else.
· Poor co-ordination, clumsiness in games or untidy handwork.
· Disorganised and difficulty following instructions.
· Moody and unpredictable.
· Others find it very difficult to communicate with them.
· People become upset and angry with them.
· Don't see others as a solution to their problems so
won't ask
for help and can be emotionally isolated.
THIS IS MY BOYFRIENDS SON.
I am please seeking some advice. Where do we go from here. All
these signs are Robert. We now need to know how to go about getting
some help and advice so we can go about getting him the right help,
which he has so far missed out on.
Many thanks for taking time to read this.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Take Care

Hi Linda
thanks for your letter. The very first step you must take is to get a
referal from your GP to your local health and social care services. Aletter
to the doctor from his school backing up your thoughts is helpful. You
should then hopefully get an appointment with a suitable professional from
the mental health department who will be able to give him an assessment and
then hopefully a diagnosis. Good luck. What area are you from?

Hiya Sharon,
Many thanks for your reply. It is much appreciated. We are in
Lancashire. A town called Darwen. Which is between Blackburn and
Bolton. Are there any support groups in our area, that you may know
of. I really would like to know more. Robert is 13 on Tuesday, and
he needs all the help and support he can get.

Hi Linda
Don't know of any groups in your area, but if you try the national autistic

First of all a big and warm welcome to all the new members who have
recently joined. Second a big apology for not keeping in touch, but
we have been busy.
The website has just been awarded a Gold Web award which is proudly
displayed on the home page. Also we are applying to the local
community fund for money which hopefully means that we expand our
offline plans.
This is still very much in the air at the moment, but as Shakespeare
said, "Nothing comes of nothing" So we shall see.
Our local paper ran a series of articles about autism this week. Very
nice, but dealt with people who have received just about all they can
from Social Services etc. It would be nice if now and again they told
it like it really is. Any suggestions welcome.
Hope you are all well and not disheartened by the fact that the
summer hols is soon to be upon us. Have you had any more thoughts
about the chat room idea? At least we could all support each other
during stressful times. Let me know on that one please.
Linda
Hiya Linda and all.
Thanks for your message. As I know all too well life is hectic.
I am a new member but have found your site helpful. As I said in my original
message I needed help and advice, because my B/F 's son, shows all the signs
of Asperger Syndrome. So needed the correct advice.
I got some help and advice and it was very much appreciated.
I am the manager of a out of hours kidsclub in the Blackburn area, we care for
children before school, after school and in the holidays. Some of our children
have special needs, but the majority of them don't. One of my fellow work
colleagues who has another Kidsclub company, also has a holiday club, Fun with
Friends. It is a respite holiday club, for special needs children. I help out
there when I can. I really love it. If anyone would like any info, please
don't hesitate to contact me.
I think the chatroom is a great idea. Hope it takes off.
Will be great to speak to you all.
Take Care
Linda (thepresentwife)

Hi everyone, just to let you know that I'll be in our chatroom
Saturday 31st May at about 9-00pm (21-00). If you'd like to meet up
for a chat then all are welcome. Make new friends, meet each other,
swap stories and experiences, or even just discuss the price of fish!
Whatever you want to talk about then we'll listen. You never know it
might just be what you need - a chance to unwrap yourself from it all.
If successful, members can always meet in the room at any time, so
people in different time zones can arrange to meet each when
convenient to them.
Don't know how to do it I hear you cry! No worries. Log into the
group as usual, then click on chat. That will open up the room for
you and since it is just for group members only, you will have some
knowledge of the people in there. So, if you're at a loose end, why
not drop in. If you can't make it why not post a convenient time to
the message board and let's take it from there.
Hope to see you later.
Linda.
Hi everyone. Last Saturday, I had a chat with someone from the
Hampshire Autistic Society. We discussed the type of work we do and
how we go about it. To cut a long story short, it is posible that we
will get a mention in their news letter. Also we may even get
recognition and maybe some help and support from them! Obviously
nothing has been agreed, and I may be speaking too soon, but.......
Don't forget the chatroom. It can be used by anyone at any time and
saves all those IMs on your screen. I was talking to Kade on
Saturday. He lives in the U.S and is a very interesting person to
know. It seems that the problems we encounter in the UK are mirrored
over there so things don't seem to change much.
Well the children are back at school soon, although for some that
will not be any consolation or provide a respite. So, in the event of
the worse case scenario DON'T FORGET - WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!!!!
Linda.
Dear members,
It is with regret that I have to notify you of our intention to
discontinue the on-line group. Although we are still available to
deal with any problems by e-mail or IM, we are finding increasingly
difficult to maintain the group to the standards we had hoped.
Thank you all for your past support, and please keep in touch. Sorry
to you all. Closure will take place on the 31st July.
Linda.
P.S. If anyone else feels that they have the time to run this group
please let me know.
Hi there,
I found this site while looking through and thought that i could chat
and talk about things that have been and are still happening with my
9 year old son and our family.
My son was diagnosed with a heart murmur aged 11 months, when he
went into hospital for tests it showed he had a hole in the pumping
charmber (left ventrical) and also his arteries were narrow.
He had open heart surgery when he was 4 yrs old, where the hole was
closed and the main artery had a balloon inserted to widen it.
The whole ordeal was terrifying mostly because of the not knowing
what was happening (we ended up changing hospitals)
We were told he would probably need more surgery in 5 - 6 yrs time as
his other arteries would need seen to and this time is drawing nearer
and im getting worried for the dreaded letter to come.
Apart from his heart problem i felt there was something different
with his behaviour and the way he was with other kids and how he
played etc and after a long battle with his school and teachers and
then having to change his school (they said he was uncontrolable and
unteachable) he was diagnosed on 30th september 05 with asperger
syndrome.
Now that he has been diagnosed things have been tough with seeing
occupational therapist, getting things sorted out with learning
support, teaching assistants, educational phsycologist and just
trying to get my head round the last 7 weeks.
Anyway, apart from that i have 5 other children aged 18, 16, 14, 12 &
7. The eldest 3 are my stepkids and have been with them over 12 yrs
now. We all live toger (yes all 8 of us)
Times are hard just now but i know we'll get through it and just take
1 day at a time.
Hope to maybe be able to chat with some of you about things we're all
going through or have been through.
Take care
Julie x
Hi Linda do you remember me I wrote to you some time ago and received email from
you we spoke about my grandson Ryan being aspergers and also about the book I
was writing.

My name is Matthew - I have an 8 yera old son who lives with Autism.
He recently transferred from main stream to special following problems
that could not be solved in his primary mainstream setting. He was
very unhappy, anxious and increasingly stressed. Now in a lovely
generic special primary where his communication and social needs are
subtly met he is like a different boy.
Hello, where in the country are you - I also have an 8
year old son with Autism.
