Not posted much due to being in highly strung mode this week and so in lurking mode as nothing remotely positive will come out of this keyboard lol.

I was ok whilst bricked in with endless deliveries at work for the bucket and spade brigade that are about to encroach on us but now I have the jitters now everyone is in bed.

I am going out of my comfort zone. Not staying there but driving up and doing it in a day. Mad I know but its the only way I can have DH for support. I am scared shitless. Forked out for 4 new tyres on the car and DH said they were already fine, garage man said they were fine but I had them done anyway.

I even booked a hair do. ME I dont do them anyone faffing around with my head drives me bats but I thought if I looked different maybe I would feel better and not look so crap but I looked in the mirror just now and thought nobody can take the stressy old face away whatever I do.

I dont have any housework left anyone would think I was going away for years.

What if it all goes wrong. What if I fuck up and clam up. What if they are like camhs down here or the rest with deaf ears and I am just putting DS through hell of observation just to have the door closed with a " hes complex dx I will give you that try a social story"

I got 2 NT kids desperate to understand things as to why their brother is this way and get some normality to life and a DH who right now feels he is doing it all wrong, hes not but saying it isnt enough right now.

Up till now DS is oblivious we are going and I have remained calm. I am going to have to tell him we are going on a trip but its going to freak him out and I dont want to hurt him for it all to go wrong. If I tell him its all going to be ok and I will be there then he will stay as calm as anything and just follow my lead copycat style but no proff is going to see him perform apart from his obvious tics as he loves adults and loves nice quiet plain walled offices!

Its silly oclock and this is a diary of a nutter :(

Oh and he cried his eyes out today after pinching some eggs from the fridge and had wrapped them warm and sat on them because he wanted some baby chickens and they come from eggs and he cant hatch them bless him.

Just caught up! What a day!?! Thinking of you, please sleep. X

PS, I'm in Cornwall for a few days, will wave at you.

Had good nights sleep thanks Ellen and all is much calmer in the household today thank goodness. DS is over his chicken hatching plan lol and we are going to build his entire lego figures collection to line them up on display he said so he is in a more thinking mood today after a good sleep himself.

You are in Cornwall! Grin Come find me and have a coffee on the beach and if you have stolen the sun could you please release it from your suitcase? Hope you are having a good time of it :)

Thanks Justa :) 9 more days to go and at least I can have some answers whichever they may be.

I can say that although intense, I for the first time feel confident that DS issues are being taken seriously and that I am not classed as a neurotic mum for once, the first woman we saw said that sadly they have seen a lot of families treated this way due to inexperience and that so many arrive there stressed to the hilt expecting the same treatment but walk out in a much better state of mind. I have read up and researched on the net about the proffessor we are seeing and I am amazed how much he has done for autism, its research both genetic and biomedical and promote awareness of autism and its difficulties in life to the general public and through charities. That in itself gives me confidence that we have gone to the right place.

What I dont have confidence in? The bloody great horrible lorries on the M25!!!! Grin

I'm so pleased that you've found the right place for your little beach boy, even if it is miles and miles away from his beach :)
