      hi , were niki and ben from lincolnshire. Our son who is 12yrs old was diagnosed with asperges approx 2yrs ago. Since then we have had a struggle to get any help i.e DLA etc and any support from his school. Life on a daily basis can be somewhat of a challenge for us as im sure some of you parents would agree. Its hard for us to see him holed up in his bedroom wanting no real contact with anyone. Sometimes hes a real pleasure to be around and other times a complete bloody nightmare ! At the moment we are looking into other schooling options as we feel that his present school are doing nothing for him in terms of support and assitance etc. We wonder if any other parents are going through this ?? Well we just thought we,d say hi and introduce ourselves.Many thanks

      Hi Niki,I'm Helen. I just wanted to reply & let you know that I have read your message. My 7 year old has been diagnosed with autism just 2 days ago so I'm still in the shocked phase at the moment. HugsHelen

      hi well been a while since last post >:( .. we went to the school today as we found out ben was been bullied due to his asperges , how cruel kids can be sometimes.. We also found out recently that in the PE changing rooms another pupil attempted to pull down his underwear. This has really caused him to to massive steps backwards regarding the want to attend school. The school stated that due to reasons regarding the welfare of pupils teachers were not allowed to be present when children get changed before and after lessons. This we can understand but how the hell can teachers control or supervise kids when they cant even be in the same room ? The schools pastoral head stated that he would deal with the bullying by way of a verbal warning but this only made the situation worse. Oh why cant we seem to get any real answers from the school. Both my partner and i sat there for 30mins and felt like we were the ones who had done wrong. Maybe a hoover for the school would help as they seem to like putting problems under the carpet. Funny thing is they had no idea how many pupils suffer with autism in the school even tho they only have 600 children. Anyone else having these problems feel free to get in touchniki and ben xx

      oh bless you. I'm sorry to hear you are having such problems with the school. It sounds like they are failing you but I don't know what to suggest that might help. I would try to get in & have a word with the SENCO & see if they are actually willing to do anything to help, what about the paediatrician? could they talk to the school at all?Just wanted to offer hugsHugs Helen
