You are probably sound asleep by now YG but sleep well <3

Good morning all - and what a wet one. From the forecast, it would seem that all laundry will be dried indoors for the foreseeable future! That could be why Rainbows were so noisy last night...they couldn't get outside to let off steam during the day.

morning all its not wet yet here it is cold though I have three days off today is the work day as its a pigsty my attitude is if My son can live in it then i can when i am not here lol
I have been doing lots of meds training this last couple of days so that i can start doing sleepovers which is helpful as i will reduce my travelling expenses at a weekend lol

And quite right too! A is an adult and should be taking responsibilty for the mess when you aren't there by putting away the things he has got out in the communial areas, and tidying up the kitchen when he has eaten.

We may moan about PC, but as she spends most of her time in her room, most of her 'stuff' stays in there for which she takes responsibility. Since her bed takes up most of the space, she is remarkably tidy with her things.

Admittedly she doesn't do any general cleaning, but always puts her plates etc in the dishwasher and has emptied it without being asked more times than OH. Although I do her laundry, if for some reason I haven't she puts it in her self. But it is her responsibility to iron it, if she so wishes.

Have they taught you to give injections? Although They keep asking PC to go on that course, she is needle-phobic and won't :-0

Morning from an orrible wet windy Bedfordshire. Just flew in quick to see what you are all up too. I am orf out to have coffee with a friend so catch you all later for more of a chat. >>>>>>>>>>>> I'm gone :-D

HELLO LA AND EVERYONE, OUT TO HOSP APP VISIT MOTHER BACK HOME AND MAKE SOME MORE BRACELETS XXX

hi DET we dont do that level of care at this scheme apart from insulin in an emergency
I still have a lot of courses to do though
each one of our services are different we are mainly LD autism and Mental health they are all in their own flats so it is varied

Maz my middle child has aspergers, he lives a near to normal life so has got better with age, he is one of the lucky ones.

Is more help available now for young adults with autism, as ive heard in bigger towns they provide much needed support, have i got it correct you work with adults , kids

sorry if ive got it wrong i usually do lol xxx

Evening everyone from a wet, cold and horrible place!! Definitely no washing out here today!

Every time the pink blossom appears on the tree in the garden, the weather always spoils it!!

Maz, I agree with DET about A. Time he started doing things to help and got some training in to be a good husband!! :-D :-D I won't marry him if I have to pamper him! :-D :-D ;-)

puss I work with mental health and learning disabilities in Adult services
I think each area is different there are a lot of schemes here and Durham is quite good it is a very rewarding job
My A is capable of doing stuff his problem is that he is never in either but he does fill the sink and i dont get all the dishes anymore lol
My Daughter is down with my mum for a few days so she will be pleased to see them .the dog has gone too

It is absolutely persisting it down here!! :-( :-(

I really admire peolpe like you, after bringing my son up with aspergers, i remember being at breaking point, it took 13 yrs for a diagnosis from a new doctor.

I would do it all again for the young man he is is today and has learned himself how to deal with his feelings

people who dont know him just think he is a bit deep but he likes to understand everything said to him

one of my coping mechanisns was everytime i said something to him, i would then say did you understand what i said he mostly didnt, that was a massive brick wall we broke down, as i would explain in detail what i was saying.

Have you all emigrated???????

I bet you've set off on the Ark to visit Aunty and forgotten to collect me en route :-P :-P

I am here at last, had some recorded TV to catch up on so watched that and chilled out after quite a busy day. :-D

morning all well i am supposed to be out all day with froggy but i am not looking forward to the being out bit as the damp is really making me hurt .so it will be coffee shops i think lol

Wrap yourself up warm ,Maz' dosn.t look good today ,heavy rain and possibly thunderstorms ,otherwise known as a lovely spring morning ,lol.
Bets on my pear tree arriving today? :-( :-| lol,Fred.

I'm here! :-D

OH keeps hogging the PC to draw circuit boards. The sooner he is satisfied with the design, the better as far as I'm concerned. he has even skipped on taking his turn on the kitchen for the last couple of weeks :-|

Sorry to hear the weather is having a bad effect on you Maz.

Puss - when I worked with ASD teenagers, it was surprising the number whose parents had divorced; they strain tore them apart. Not an easy condition to live with. The ASD person can't be 'cured' but they may be able to develop or learn coping strategies. One size does not fit all. Well done for helping your son in his journey through life. ;-)

Morning all....LA is telling Porkies.......after everything else she tells you she was doing, she then got on to my Site and left me a task to do which kept me out of bed half the night!!..I'm exaggerating, bless her.
