Ahhh, foot massage? Lovely. Magically slimming and cooling silken robes? Amazing.

Pizza for tea? Back to reality...

[EllenJaneisnotmyname]

Clink, clink. Mmmmm. Ice cold gin and tonic.

[ProfessionallyOffendedGoblin]

Are we calm and peaceful and in our various happy places?
My DS is dismantling an old clock with cogs and springs and wheels. He will spend ages looking and cleaning and drawing all the bits with pen and ink.
He's humming happily under his breath.
ahhh, bless.

Is Maggie and the Ferocious Beast still about? Very surreal, but then I remember Chorlton and the Wheelies.

Do you Kipple?

[EllenJaneisnotmyname]

Maybe with the Taj Mahal in the background...

[ProfessionallyOffendedGoblin]

Handmaidens?
Think on.
I like my eyecandy male.

Looks like Crispybacon had his post deleted and MN put that he'd requested it himself. Oops, he's not happy.

'And the fact is, children with diagnosed ASD get far more attention and understanding than children with diagnosed dyspraxia. Because many teachers have actually not even heard of dyspraxia, and many teachers don't 'believe' in it.'

As a teacher, I would disagree with this. In schools where inclusion is a priority, both would receive attention and understanding. Teachers that knew nothing about the condition would research and disseminate the information.
In other schools, they would both be neglected or dealt with on the basis of 'We know about it, my mother's brother's second wife's nephew had it.'
Ignorance about sn is widespread in schools, but the good ones are prepared to learn.

[EllenJaneisnotmyname]

Hee hee hee. Not that bolshie and obnoxious.

' And the fact is, children with diagnosed ASD get far more attention and understanding'

How is that a fact?

[ProfessionallyOffendedGoblin]

Now I have a vision of a huge barrel of gin and you with some bolshie and obnoxious individual by the scruff.

[EllenJaneisnotmyname]

And breath...

Thanks for the gin, I'll go and drown a few sorrows in it.

[ProfessionallyOffendedGoblin]

So the answer is that in my Virtual Cupboard of Dipsomaniac Delights, I have every variety and flavour of alcohol. And all the trimmings for cocktails stay fresh forever.

When my DS left primary, I gave the head a bottle of Bombay Sapphire and a straw.

[EllenJaneisnotmyname]

Oh, yes, he soils himself as well, is that on the dyspraxic side or just ASD?

[EllenJaneisnotmyname]

Goblin, have you got any Bombay Sapphire?

[EllenJaneisnotmyname]

Sorry again, theta. I wasn't actually listing a series of dyspraxic symptoms, I was listing my DS's symptoms. So you could see the crossover. Some apply, some don't. I do not doubt his DX, I just wish some OT had been available. I couldn't afford a private OT, and my DS's communication problems have always been my priority.
