  • Hi Firefly,

    I have some probs with my pc and it crashed last night so trying again.

    All the best with the statementing process. We have just been through this.

    Its interesting to read your post. Your son's tantrums are so like my little boy's when he was younger. He has outgrown them, mostly! This is such a wide spectrum and yet there is much in common.

    Re not telling your son, I agree sort of! But if it was me, I would not let that put me off explaining to other people. I think I would prepare a sort of 'layman's' explanation for if the situation arose. My boy is only 5 but I am already thinking about this.

    Hope to speak soon. Love Rosemary xx
