Poignant due to the mmr thread My youngest who is autistic,(thomas) aged 10 1/2 For the 1st time in his life he picked a book from the bookshelf (harry potter) sat at the table cut a piece of paper to make a book marker and started to read the book,now thomas' reading ability is at about a 4 year olds stage.When i asked him if he could read he replied yes in my head,yawned then said can i go to bed to read my book. Absolutely PRICELESS    |

yah the little things that make yr day/year,,well until some tosser in a shop said look at that horrid kid and the father doing nothing as thomas was kicking off in a shop today (he thought he was out of earshot)God how i didnt slap him i'll never know.Thats such a red rag when they do that  lol you should explain to them & educate them, much more humilitating for them. |

I have little cards that I carry in my pocket for when my daughter kicks off in public.
It reads "Sorry if my daughters behaviour has upset you today, shes autistic and she can not control her reactions. Whats your excuse??"
