Hey everyone, v quick post to say I have been lurking (sort of) but never got enough time (or sufficiently free hands) to type anything. Only getting time now because DS is asleep and DH, who has been working from home, is on monitor duty so I can have a bath. Or I could, if there was enough hot water. So, while the boiler works, I get to play on here.
Delighted to hear it is encouraging news for you, Sput, had been (and continue to) keep fingers crossed for you. We have friends with autistic children, in each case at the severe end of the spectrum, I think, and unfortunately neither could be said to be sociable or affectionate (or to interact much with others at all).
Will join you on Facebook as soon as I get the chance- MM- can we do it through you, please?
Quick question: am I mad to even consider a possible part-time job to do from home in the next six months or so? All very much in the air, but it would involve setting up a department in my (very specialist) area and writing a briefing or two- mostly from home, with the occasional meeting. Obviously DH is very young still, and I am very conscious that I only get this very special time with him once (and with DC2, if/when they come about, it will not be the same), I would like to spend extended periods of time with my family this summer, etc but on the other hand, if I could get some help (and it was economic to do so) it could be an ideal way to return to work part-time (increasing the hours once DS is older)- and it is something I am good at, a very interesting opportunity etc.... So, what do you think? Off to ponder in the bath before DS wakes up and demands the next feed...
