  1. Awesome episode and i have to say this is my fav season since the rebirth of the show. Matt smith is amazing in the role and like tom baker he has the aura of someone who is not from this world. Im still not totally sold on amy and would enjoy a few eps were it was the doc and rory.

  2. Faith was the same with the lining up always by colour and 2 by 2. She used to know a little bit of sign but now she has enough words to get by. At the mo the school is trying to learn her 5 words in a row to make a sentance. She learnt how to do 3 in row over last few months. She used to be terrible around other kids i think school and us having another kid who she was always around helped her a lot. She is still in nappys which we and the school are working on with her and were hoping to have her toilet trained by the end of the year. She also still has to have a pram cause she has no sense of danger and in the past has tried to run into busy roads.

    My daughter Lily, born on Sunday morning following a 52 hour labour which my wife really could have done without...

    Congratulations!

     

    Anyone have any children with special needs?

     

    Dyllan is autistic. He is extremely clever and has scarily advanced skills when it comes to using computers, phones and gadgets in general, as well as sorting and creating patterns by size and colours. People are amazed by him, yet his social skills are off, and he can't say a word. He will be 3 in September.

    We're finally getting the help we need as we have been struggling with his speech and diet. He's been seeing a speech therapist since his 2nd birthday and his diet problems bring me to tears sometimes, he has been seeing a dietician for a few months but we have yet to make any progress at all, infact it's getting worse. He also has quite a severe gluten intolerance something which I have recently discovered is often linked to autistic children.

     

    I'm learning with Dyllan in all of this. I've got experience in adult mental health but not autism and I'm finding it all extraordinary. Since his diagnosis it's a massive weight off my back, but I'm a bit scared as it's all a bit daunting.

     

    My daughter faith was diagnoised with autism when she had just turned 3. She had no speech just noises ,diet problems and had no social skills. Im glad to say since she has been in a special needs school she has come along leaps and bounds . She speaks a lot more now, has friends and even tho she has bad days the improvement has been amazing.

    That's comforting to know, thankyou for sharing. He isn't in preschool at the moment as I can't afford it and his funding won't start until Jan 2012 (the term after he turns 3). How old is your daughter now? When did she start preschool? What advice have you found the most helpful or tips? Sorry so many question but I'm sure you understand :)

     

    EDIT: Did she also communicate by squeaking like a guinea pig? Or is that a Dyllan-ism lol

     

    I defo understand when i found out bout faith i wanted as much info as i could find. Faith started school at bout 3 and a half she turns 5 in the next few weeks. Most helpful advice was to take her to mums and tots or other things of the sort . At first she ignored all other kids and just lined up all the toys again and again but after a while she stared to mingle and when she started school it was a bit easyier beind around all the kids. Also the ipad has a lot really good apps that are geared towards autistic kids

  5. I'm back in Dubai just now (after a few fun weeks in Vladivostok) but travelling back to the UK tomorrow for 1 day. I will be able to do some more clearance discs if anyone is interested, though due to time limits it will only be sets (or runs of companies ie AIW, AAW, etc) and not random shows.

     

    I would need payment by tomorrow early afternoon (to let me get time to get sufficient packaging materials) and any discs would be sent Saturday morning.

     

    I'll pull together a list of what is available for anyone interested pm me with email address.

     

    hey dude could u send me list to peterblackham@googemail.com
