We've just realised

[Spinkle]

....and thought the day would never come...

As DS (ASD, 6) has speech and language delay we've never really had to have 'private' discussions between me and DH. You could pretty much say anything about anything and DS wouldn't take any notice.

Not so now - we have to spell stuff out (though that's getting risky too) .

He can, what my dad used to call, 'ear wig'.

So no more effing and jeffing for us!!

Am so pleased

Great news - although you'll have to really think before you speak now!

Know the feeling... am so pleased for you, our ds still at that oblivious stage, altho I did make the LD pysch laugh by saying we would have to work on this if ds speech ever got going..

DS is also butting in our conversations now, but only when it relates to him, something that he does not want to do . Very nice feelings that he is paying attention, not so nice when I accidently used the 'f' word whilst driving and he repeated it when I had to break sharp on another occassion. Really have to watch before we speak now.

So happy for you spinkle

Ha ha we used to have our conversations in French until DD got too good at French and started picking up on what we were saying. (We live in France, she's now officially bilingual at 6. Pretty good for a severely SAL delayed ASD kid, huh!!)
Happy for you

LOL.

I remember worrying about ds talking, or that he never needed me for anything or wanted my attention or input.

He has a huge number of problems, but my goodness he never shuts up or leaves me alone........

Really pleased for you!
