[TwinkleWilf996]

Today it my special day I went to dreamland today to see my all time hero is Mr Tumble!!!! He been my hero since I was little boy I watched his first episode when it on tv was episode Pets and I learnt to sign with him as part of my communication difficulties as I am deaf and has autism and my communication wasn’t good I was struggling to communicate and now I can communicate using sign language but I can lipread an bit but I felt much happier using sign language and I now has an iPad which has helped me to communicate. I was very lucky as I watched his show twice!!!!! This morning and the afternoon show!!!!
He quickly rescogiced me in my costume!!!!! We met last year and we met this year yay!!!!! This year at dreamland show it even more better!!!!! It got 2 BSL interpreters in!!!!! Yay!!!!! It made my day even more fun!!!! Because of my way of communication using sign language BSL and Makaton I now support my group for children with Downs Syndrome most of them loved Mr Tumble and met him last year they liked me I sign to them and they liked me! Not just me who met Justin but my mummy and my granny we FaceTimed so we could see Justin my mummy said to him that I am huge fan of him and thanked him to showing children and adults the sign language for the mainstream also that day today he was very kind and he kept has his eye on me when we signed the Hello song we signed I sign to him and he watched me signing!!!! He waved to me and my little friend and she was very happy to see him and she waved to him with me!

This year I got him an thank you card on his front card it got stars on and words thank you in rainbow colours as he loved twinkle twinkle and I can sing an rainbow song! Inside the card I draw the picture of Mr Tumble also his spotty bag and the Tumble tap and he loved it!!!!! That made my day so special!!!!

My favourite Mr Tumble is the one where Aunt polly is on her bike fetching the cream cakes and eats all them all

Every time I treat myself to a cream cake my daughter calls me Naughty Aunt Polly!!

Aw such a sweet thread. Tbh I am sick of me tumble / Justin but seeing how happy you are wilf has cheered me up.

I don’t think he needs a public lesson tbh. I do agree with what you’re getting at but the way you’re doing it is a bit - off, really. Sorry.

I think Pommes is doing a good thing here and the issues she's raising are things every single of us should be talking about with our children as a matter of course. There is nothing 'off' about discussing internet safety.

Apparently Wilf's support workers are involved with his social media. I understand and agree with the concern if people are unaware of that, however.

Idonthaveatattoo. I agree with you

I'm cringing.

I don't understand why this thread is still here

Idonthaveatattoo. I agree with you. I'm cringing.

And yet the fact that I can use the identifying information from this thread to easily find the OP outside of the internet produces zero cringe....

At least Pommes is trying to help Wilf.

No Youcant that makes me cringe even more. I usually hide these threads due to the fawning and he lack of awareness of oversharing

As I don't said, it's not the message, it's the delivery

She's not his mother. She's not his nursery teacher. It's cringy

But if the mother isn't aware of appropriate boundaries...

Perhaps this discussion should be continued on the other thread (if it's still there). Pommes posts are relevant, but the rest of us are going a little off topic (all well intentioned though, even where opinions differ).

Other thread has gone.

Yeah, sorry, I’m not disagreeing with the message per se, but the way he’s being questioned in what comes over as a slightly louder-than-needed, slightly-slower-than-needed way.

I have said on both deleted threads ( but no special treatment, no sir) that I think the behaviour of both is dangerous but online questioning is not the way to ‘solve’ it

@idonthaveatattoo there was much speculation on multiple threads that perhaps the people concerned didn't understand the risks, or have the mental capacity to make what others may consider to be unwise decisions about their online privacy.

What nobody did was, well, enquire and engage directly in conversation. I didn't want to speak 'above' the person but with him. My delivery was therefore very deliberate. I can assure you this is based on professional experience. While obviously I'm not here in a professional capacity and I am, like all of us, a mere stranger from the internet (which is, ironically, a point I think we all agree on).

This is going to be my last post on the matter. I have said what I had to say, and wholeheartedly stand by it. I am however conscious that this is Wilf's thread and feel that, wherever possible, we should not be speaking about him but to him.

(Sorry for going off topic, Wilf...)

@Pomme you appear to be attempting a mental capacity assessment which is bizarre, pointless, goes against a chunk of the principles of the MCA and does come across as massively patronising.

I, honestly, hope I am wrong.

Agree, Tesslikestrees!

Pinned you're being massively patronising. I have two very close family members who are on the spectrum and whilst I appreciate your intentions are good this is not coming across well.
