Introduce yourself (part one)

Jim V - mod

Hi everyone,

We thought we'd create a discussion where people can say hello and introduce themselves.

You don't have to say something here but it'd be nice to get a chance to say hello Smile

Please remember that you should not share personal details (such as emails or phone numbers) to protect your privacy.

And don't feel you have to introduce yourself, it's entirely up to you and please only share what you're comfortable with.

    Your son's fits of frustration sound very like my daughter's - she's 18 now and it can be quite alarming for people who don't know her when she goes off on one (which is most days, usually about something I haven't foreseen). I take your point about speech therapy but wonder if a speech therapist might be able to point you in the right direction for further help. You can challenge them to come up with suggestions or refer you on - people in the 'caring professions' seem to listen to each other more than they listen to us.

    I really hope you can find the help your son needs as he's obviously trying really hard and deserves to be successful in making a life for himself.
