  • Rosemary i Forgot to mention as far as i know yes aspies can rock or hand flap to sooth themselves when stressed, no diff if high functioning or aspies i think it is called stimming i have not got my books to hand?!

    No mary my son does not have a statement as yet he does not need one and would be very embarrased to have a one to one helper he is very self concious anddoes not like to stand out.  I think i should tell people though even though he has not yet been officially dignosed.  I may try and push for a playground assistant though.

    I feel my sons school is great as so small and few children that is good forEAI BUT health and safety is non existant at times a recent walk to school week was a nightmare, i did talk to the head teacher but i feel i am the only one that speaks up and may just look like a trouble maker.  As i have to keep good communication with the schools for Geai i do not want it to get awkward.

    My son is home, must go, i love the weekends knowing Geai is safe and stress free at home, and the evening glass of wine of course!

    Have a good weekend.
