Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

He's not autistic, he's a very naughty boy..........

No-one has said this to me, but I live in constant defensiveness in case they 'probably' think it. sad

People might well make remarks about ds being naughty, I'm usually too busy hanging on to him to notice. I've had the odd occasion, for instance when I foolishly tried to stand in a post office queue with ds, I could hear an old man behind me confiding to someone else that ds just needed a good smack. I usually don't say anything (just stew on it all the way home and think up a thousand smart-but-too-late remarks grin).

The most fun thing though is the hairdresser's. Ds is 9 yo and hates having his hair touched at all so I have to hang on to him for dear life while he struggles and cries and the fab hairdresser snips away at warp speed. There is always a sort of stunned silence from the assorted grannies under the dryers and then one of them will pluck up the courage to ask something like "how old is he?". Nowadays it just makes me smile to myself smile.

I really liked:

'Yes I have autism. Stare if you must. I won't be paying any attention to you anyway.

And

'HF = No support Services'

Personally, I'd rather not use my DS as a message board. He doesn't wear brand names either, so diability awareness, although important isn't something I want him to advertise. I might do it myself though.
Just had a look at that link. I need to buy ds2 the "Autistic by day, deadly ninja by night" one!
"if you stare long enough you might cure my AUTISM, and then we can work on your social issues."

LOVE IT! I think we should all have one!

When we had DS2's MS nursery visit last year, the SENCO "forgot" to tell the teachers he had autism, and a few of them made comments like "wow, we will have our hands full" and "he is quite energetic isnt he". I cried through most of the visit.

How about "Tastes like chicken" for all those kids who like to lick random things when out and about?

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
