Hello.
My niece has three children with autistic spectrum; also my son Joshua is still under hospital to be assessed for Aspergers Syndrome in November. My niece’s eldest is 13 years old Shara with Aspergers syndrome, Louise11 also Autistics and 3 year old Matthew also has Autism. They are wonderful children and full of love.
Louise has just change school and seems to be settling in ok. Shara is educated at home as she had a bad experience in her high school and could not go back.
Has anyone got storeys with families with Autism to share?
love and blessing

Hello after a while away:rolleyes:, I still read on the outside.
Update on Josh, he will be 14 years old on 23rd december, how time flyes,
Josh was refered back to hospital this year and we have a wonderful doctor at last who been very caring and understanding, I never wanted josh to have a lable as such, but I just wanted to understand more on his ways. Josh has been doing fine at school and choosen his options for GCE. His targets are on the A's and B's so he doing ok.
Joshua still has social and communication difficulties, but he's doing find.
He's still bit of a loner but very happy, we spend time chatting about any problems he has and then I help to try and resolve the problem the best I can. He has friends in school, and on his x-box, but not visiting friends at home.
I've learn so much from my son over the years, I'm blessed.

Children with social and communication difficulties have problems with getting on with other people and understanding what other people mean. Like other children, every child with social and communication difficulties will be different.
What are Communication Difficulties?
Communication is not just what people say to each other with words. It is also body language, facial expression and the tone of voice. All of these things combined are communication.
Many people with communication difficulties may find it hard to understand the meaning you put into your voice, for example the tone of your voice. They may find it difficult to understand the messages we give to each other without speaking, such as the expression we have on our face or a gesture like waving, pointing or shrugging our shoulders.
What are Social Difficulties?
Taking turns can be very challenging to a child with social difficulties. This can often make it hard to make or keep friends and join in games. Many children will struggle with eye contact, knowing when to give eye contact and knowing when to look away to not make someone feel uncomfortable as it may appear that they are staring.
It may also be difficult to understand what other people are thinking or feeling. Many children will find it difficult to see things from someone else’s point of view. This can make children with social difficulties appear selfish or uncaring. They may do things which seem out of place, such as talking in a very loud voice to the person who is standing right next to them or talking continually about things that interest them to someone they have never met before.
These kinds of social difficulties need to be addressed carefully. Take the time to use social stories of visual symbols to work through these situations and guide the child into what is seen as appropriate behaviour.
Children with social and communication difficulties can become very frustrated when they do not understand situations; sometimes they hit out or find it hard to understand what other people are feeling. They may not understand that they have hurt other people.

I have an autistic nephew. It was a very difficult time for the family. He had quite a violent temper. There's far too much of it around, its not natural.

So in your opinion, is Down Syndrome not natural? Or any other disability? Just wondered if my son and all his autistic fellow human beings are the only ones that are 'not natural'...

My apologies, I should clarify. I suspect that the modern autism epidemic could be due, in part, to some new environmental factor.
