tell us about your self

[redbull]

i just carried away sometimes and when i have a prob and post like to include all details incase no one knows who i am!!!!!!!

im redbull (nicky) im 25 and i have a Ds who is 5 who is Autistic and goes to a SN school,my dp is 29 and does traffic management on the roads VERY LONG HOURS (get incase anyone thinks as we r not married hes not ds dad)
in jan this year ds got his boke at school wich reulted in 16 weeks off school, the school have been shite about everything and i end up in alot of rows with them in my spare time i like to read,card making and go to angel work shops.

Im learning to drive through the family fund.

ds probs are constapated,little speach,no understanding of the world,no sense of danger,poor apitite and BAD sleep problems, the GOOD ponits are he is soooooooooooooooooo loving,good imagination,loves me his mommy to bits, he cant speack much but can work out instructions,he knows very good sense of direction as if he has a map in his head, he loves robots, cars and scooby doo

we live in brum and my family are FAB loads of support, i suffer from depression and dp also has mental health problems (we are not crazy, PROMISE ) tell me about you

am 39, 40 in the new year, separated from h since november, and have 4 kids

my oldest was born with 2 congenital heart defects and hydrocephaulus, then was dx'd with gdd, tho she has now recovered from all that and is a typical stroppy teenager

my youngest has cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia)and is in reception at a mainstream school with full time one to one care there, he has an electric wheelchair for lessons and a manual one for home

the oldest 3 kids all have a collagen deficiancy called ehlers -danlos syndrome, which they inherited from me via my mum, not too sure about the youngest though

i live in sw surrey and i am learning to drive now i have been seizure free for over a year

I am Clair (obv), 32 but aging rapidly . I have three boys; Sam who is 6.5 and As, and has severe aggression issues on top. Ds2 is 5.5 and has some speech issues (which aggravate ds1) as a result of glue ear, but he was finally referred this week. DS3 is 3 next month, is small for his age (very- he looks what, 18 months) is about 18 months speech wiose as well but we are hooping he will catch up. he probably will. If he doesn't, he'll fir in just fine in this household.

I have a Dh who works hard, helps a lot but does get stressed and has a history of mental health problems but has been clear for quite a while now .

I am a student, just finished year 1 at Uni. I also have As but don't see the point of a DX; it would have helped years ago big time, but i've learned how people work (in the main- drinks duty at school tooka ges today as having a funny day and had to make all the cups match / go in patterns ) and actually at least i can empathise with a lot of Sam's problems.

Would dearly love another baby. Know I could cope with the baby no problem, we have that sort of family, but scared of other peoples looks.

Hi, i'm 25 just turned. Live in Morecambe, Lancashire (woo hoo!!!)

I have dd1 aged nearly 6 with ODD poss ADHD and ds2 3.5 with GDD, Ataxia, Hypotonia, learning difficulties amongst other issues.

I have just changed jobs to part time bar maid of an evening to allow me to start my access to social work course in septemberand have more quality time with the children before and after school.

Have a partner of 6 years, but won't waste my breath talking about him

Other than the above, i do enjoy the odd night out on karaoke as i love to sing.

Oh and i have 2 cats and a weimeraner.

So busy life schedule

I am Pages, am 41 and have DS1 who is 3.9 and has developmental delay with no other diagnosis. He had a febrile convulsion at 9 months and a year on epilim which didn't help him. He only ever had the one grand mal fit although had absences when very small. He has been fit free since he was 9 months old but was very floppy and didn't crawl till 2 or walk independedntly till 3. He is still not talking much but has said the odd word. I also have DS2 who is 10 months and NT as far as we know.

Don't like to say too much to identify myself as I do a public type of job and feel I need to protect the childrens' id. Sorry to sound mysterious.
