    Meeting the family

    Yes it makes total sense to me! He is really lucky to have you. I really hope my ds meets someone like you when he is older who is willing to put so much thought into the relationship and guide him when he might be struggling in situations. I also think it is good that you know your partner is...

    Meeting the family

    He has got loads better over the years. Btw, not saying I am perfect and I'm not criticising him just that I usually cope better in social situations. he has lots of skills that I don't have....it's give and take and appreciating and respecting your differences, which it sounds like you are...

    Meeting the family

    I do give my dh tips sometimes but am very careful not to come across as nagging or overloading with info (I know I have done both in the past!). Sometimes it has helped to laugh off some things that previously would've caused upset. For example if he has come across as rude without realising eg...

    Meeting the family

    Sounds like you have a really lovely family. I would just maybe give them more opportunities to meet and let them find their own relationship with each other. Sometimes it is really easy to want to ''manage" interaction to make sure everything goes smoothly. I don't mean in a controlling way but...

    Meeting the family

    We have been together nearly 30yrs so it can work out. I think the trick is to not take each other too seriously.

    Meeting the family

    My dh is not good socially and in the end I just got used to it. People take him as he is. I know exactly what you mean though. I'm sure there was a lot of pressure around that meeting. Once they get to meet him a few times it will probably get better :-)

    Excessive teasing advice gratefully received.

    IMO some teachers (not all,there are some wonderful ones ) could do with some training in asd and anxiety. People seem to think kids can't suffer with anxiety and that it is something only adults get. Makes a big big difference having an understanding teacher.

    Excessive teasing advice gratefully received.

    Interesting comments. I am sorry for everyone who had such a tough time at school. It's certainly something I try to monitor. I have part time schooled my son in the past and it worked out really really well. In the current school it is not allowed. At the moment he is happy at school as he does...

    Synesthesia

    Royinpink. Nice to meet someone with the same time synesthesia. I used to think that everyone thought like that. One day I mentioned it to someone and they didn't know what I was talking about. Started asking around and none of my friends/family had it. Then years and years later I was googling...

    Good news about the mouse :-)

    Can you remove one of your own threads?

    Thanks for your reply. I guess I will have to get in I touch with a moderator if I want him to join. Thanks.

    Freaking out over mouse bait blocks

    I would assume that the amount of poison transferred by the mouse wouldn't be enough to hurt a human but I understand your concern at wanting to get rid of the block. In the meantime (as you can't get rid of the block for now) can you speak to the company who put them down and maybe they can...

    Freaking out over mouse bait blocks

    Hi. Are you worried about the poison affecting your food cooked in the stove? Or wondering about cleaning it out?
