v disappointing to see name-changing snipes on this board.

doricsue · 27/01/2011 10:59

This is a joke, i am going to fight for my ds not stay annonymus, staying annonymus does not change things and the thing about toilet training an 8 year old with sn is down to common sense, an as for being unaware/ignorant/unsupportive/offensive, well thats even more of a joke when i have been fighting LA for the last 16 years for help for my ds asd son and then people come on here as a newbie and they get dismissed, no, this is not for me, i have not got time to spend all day on the comp, only the odd few mins here and there because im too busy looking after my ds or cleaning my house etc, try it.

Hello TotalChaos, how did you get on with the play visit that was to be arranged for your ds?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/01/2011 12:04

No, doricsue, people come on as rude people and get dismissed, see ya, mind the door on your way out!

doriscue,the comment about toilet training was harsh,don,t know what your experience so far is,but i have an autistic/epileptic son with sld,s who will always be in pads and he is nearly 13.
goblin child,have to disagree,civility does not include telling me in your words"that you will bite"enough said me thinks,lets just agree to disagree,as said by other posters we are all on here for a bit of moral support not a scrap,i get enough of that with my son,who for the past 4 hours has been ruuning at me and trying to hurt,he is very strong.ON THAT NOTE ARE THERE ANY MUMS ON HERE WHO HAVE A TESTOSTERONE FUELLED AUTISTIC SON,WHO ARE FACING CHALLENGING BEHAVOUR????
Would love to hear from you to share advice and if you have any ideas,REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS ONE,GETTING SCARY.xx

I maybe too my ASD son is nearly 4 and still not potty trained and is mostly non verbal so not I dont think potty training a sn child is about common sense it's more about the ability of the child,which is why we are carers!

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/01/2011 13:24

For anyone thinking WHAT is a lovely person after that post, the deleted post from Doricsue which she agreed with was offensive in the extreme,. Smile

coppertop · 27/01/2011 13:24

Gosh. That's where I've been going wrong all these years. If only I'd used common sense and did more cleaning, there'd be no problems at all.

I shall e-mail MNHQ to ask if they'd like to help with my new best-sellers:

"Oven-Cleaning Made My Child Walk Again!"

"The 'Toilet-Scrubbing Cure' for Blindness"

"Hello Mr Muscle, Goodbye Autism"

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/01/2011 13:26

Let's just leave the trolls to it, I'm off to get DD from preschool

Hi Gilly, have you been in touch with the Challenging Behaviour Foundation? They have a good newsletter and advice sheets. They also have a good email forum - one recent question was about violence and SLD/ASD. Their focus is on children/young people with SLD and challenging behaviour.

My son has some physical disabilities as well as SLD and ASD-like behaviours and some challenging behaviour.

donkeyderby · 27/01/2011 13:36

Flappin , I haven't been happy with some of the comments from older posters towards Gilly for instance. HOWEVER, this forum has generally been very supportive and very polite. No-one in the two years I have been posting has told someone to go and get a life etc., on the SN boards (plenty of that in AIBU which you may prefer). People tend to go out of their way to avoid conflict and accept that posters may be struggling enough in life without fights on here.

But if someone's been arguing with you all morning then presumably you've been here too? Confused

I would say "pot kettle and black" but that just takes us right back towards the cleaning theme....

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 27/01/2011 13:41

It's quite hard to look after
Dd when she is at preschool, the staff don't like it

donkeyderby · 27/01/2011 13:42

google them. Think it's www.thecbf.org.uk Hope you find something of interest. Your situation sounds very difficult
