Quick update

I've not posted for a week as I have been busy finishing my last essay for the open university course i have been doing since October. But I'm glad to say Ive finished it and one more read through and its sent....its finished and I'm relieved!!

Ive decided to focus my time now on this blog and other Autism related things. The blog has had such a great response since i started it up again, and I'm quite shocked that people actually want to hear about what I have to say if I'm honest!

Its helped… Continue

Ruby the therapeutic dog

Ruby is a Yorkshire terrier. We have had her since December and she is now 6 months old. I got her for 2 reasons.

1. company for me when the kids are staying at their dads some weekends and just company in general and
2. for Sam...so she is also a therapeutic dog.

I thought it would help Sam to show emotions, if that's the right phrase...I'm not sure, it makes him sound Vulcan!!


Put it this way if I want a cuddle from him or a kiss I literally have to pin him down and hold on to him for dear… Continue

What the Dr said...not alot!!

Just a quick update on the trip to the Doctors.

Basically he said I have to turn " the Dark " into a positive so that Sam is no longer scared of the dark. Well, blow me....what an insight I would never had thought of that!! (sorry....sarcasm!)

I asked him about a referral to sort out the dark and anxiety issues, it was ignored. I have to make the dark fun for Sam so that it no longer scares him. Well I hardly sit there going " oh yes Sam being in the dark is very scary so I'm not surprised you… Continue

Night anixety....Lets see what the Dr says

I'm taking Sam to the Doctors tomorrow. I never take him to see the GP about his autism, because, to be honest I rarely have to see anyone. Its not a curable disease or something that can be "treated" with medication so I just carry on and deal with what ever is thrown at me. However Ive decided to take him because I want a referral to the children's mental health team.

Why do I want this? Because Sam is developing what I call Night anxiety (there probably is a technical term but I prefer my ow… Continue

Going to the shop....and why. (taken from my blog)

Ive been trying to persuade Sam to go to the shop, which is only 2 minutes away, for ages now. He wont go. He said he is too scared to go on his own....which is fair enough.

Friday afternoon he went with his friends to the shop to get something, a cap gun. Then Saturday morning he got up and shouted "is the shop open?" I said yes, and the next thing i know he is dressed and running around saying hes going down the shop to get some caps for this toy gun. After a manic few minutes of me trying to… Continue
