Im a stay at home mum of two boys and love it they are my life. I love scrapbooking and finding out more information about autism, although it seems the list of information goes on forever
Wow, you sure did have a bad day on Thursday. Glad to hear things have since picked up. I felt really angry about the swimming incident -I'm assuming they have had no experience with children with ASD. One of our kids with ASD went off to school this term, to a supposedly experienced teacher, who then kept complaining to the Dad, that the child wouldn't hold eye contact. Oh Lordy, where's her experience been? I guess Alison I would be tempted to take him to the quietest pools that you could find and let him muck about with you, maybe once that's not so frightening then you could look at swimming lessons,but I don't think there the be all and end all at this stage - lots of other things to deal with first. Your his Mum, trust your instincts - you know what's best for him. Oh and I love the Friday night challenge layout too - it's very cool!

Forgot to say on the other post that your layout is fantastic. You were super quick on this one! I love those papers.
