Times article about Aspergers

[BabeRuthless]

It was in the magazine last week and was written by Sophie Walker who has also written a book about about training for marathons while raising her daughter who has Aspergers. Its a really good article & the first paragraph about a daily battle over teeth brushing got to me as thats what happens in our house.

I've got a Times subscription (posh eh?) and I've copied & pasted stuff for people before. Let me know if you want it but replying on this thread & I'll pm everyone with it in the morning.

Thank you, it would be great to see that

We have the opposite problem DS 'needs' to brush his teeth in a certain way everyday and won't shorten the routine even if he's running late for the bus :)

Er, hello everyone. That Times article was me.. I was actually a bit worried about it because the editors took all the most negative and bleakest parts of the book and stitched them into a fairly relentlessly sad piece. Life isn't entirely like that! A more positive take was in the Guardian here: www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/sep/30/marathon-help-daughter-aspergers-syndrome?INTCMP=SRCH

Ooo, thanks for that, Soph! Welcome to the board, (if you're not a namechanger.) Stick around, will you?

Hello, yes of course. I've actually just started another in this group about an incident involving my daughter today that's really got to me .. would welcome your thoughts and comments.

Can you email it to me? Lisa at spectrumgirls dot com?
