hi everyone
im down the south coast atm and ive just attended a tony attwood seminar today and i have another day to go tomorrow.
its the first time ive seen him and yes, he is very good.
not giving me a whole lot of hope tho coz he said that his son is aspie and has developed OCD (same as my daughter who is also called tahlia - lol dolly) and his son is not addicted to all sorts of drugs, legal and not and alcohol becoz its the only thing that makes him feel relaxed and he now steals etc to fund his habits...
and this is the son of the 'world reknown expert on aspergers' and a professor of clinical psychology ... and he cant even solve it :_|
and dolly not that i want to freak u out but u should know all the facts, tony said today that ASD happens quite often in families like more than one child with it and he also said that the strains of it seem to get worse as u go along. meaning ur first ASD kid might have aspergers and say your 4th might have classic autism, meaning the degree is more severe. he didnt know if it was becoz by the time u have ur later children u are also older but he did say that ASD is more common in the over 35 age group with the likelihood going from 1 in 4 to 1 in 2! i dont know how old u are and im not trying to turn u off but u should know ... then chances are ur 3rd could be neuro-typical...theres only one way to find out

i should proof read - argh
not addicted should read noW addicted
o and about the tshirts etc i dont think i would feel comfortable wearing those. consider the kid with the big nose and his mum wears a tshirt saying i love my kids big nose coz he can smell better than anyone else or something similar, it would just be embarrassing to the child i think. thats how i would feel as the parent or the child.
but thats just my opinion.
