I think your friend has great taste :)

It was like been 14 again when the Osmonds were in town :) Time to grow up again....ah well -fun whilst it lasted. Duchy

Well it was all going so well. Had booked my trip.....stuck to a savings plan and whoops blew it completely this month. My first love came to England to play a series of concerts. I'd booked for one concert months ago-ended up going to three *and* buying new tickets for the original concert...

Surf Doggies.......................at Typhoon Lagoon

OK That's helpful -thank you. I've already suggested she tries to find a local support group. Here education departments by law have to provide an independent free advisory service (either run by them or contracted out to another body) obviously you don't have that system in the US-wanted to...

Hi Jayne :) I see you've looked at scheduled flights-do take a look at charters as there is usually a (small) discount for under 16s. I got a good deal with TCD. I personally wouldn't book a villa with TCD because they do not confirm the actual villa location at time of booking but I think it...

Hi Sorry this is OT but I've had an email from a lady in the US who has a six year old son who has just been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. As you can imagine she has a million and one questions which I'm trying to answer (I'm mum to Josh age 12 who also has AS which is why I got her mail)...

This might sound harsh but if a few ignorent people give you nasty looks-ignore them-THEY are the ones with the problem. Your daughter if she is ASD is very unlikely to notice the nasty looks and you're an adult-you can cope with it-especially if it means your daughter is able to enjoy more of...

In the context of *this* thread my understanding is that people are using AS to mean Aspergers Syndrome (which is classed as ASD or Autistic Spectrum Disorder) judging by the references used . Angelman syndrome is much rarer than Aspergers and has very different symptoms both physical and mental.

My son is now 12 and has had an AS diagnosis since he was six. Yes a lot of things you've mentioned do crop up in AS dx. However keep an open mind for now. One thing that caught my eye was your comments about words. My son had a huge vocabulary of words however there was some block at putting...

Although I prefer Newport Bay to Sequoia Lodge I'm really wondering what there was to really not like at SL?

We had some issues when checking into the BC. (We'd prepaid and not all the credits were showing). We just kept smiling but told the CM checking us in that we wanted to sort it out now rather than later. She told us how much she appreciated the fact that we were nice about the situation and...

My comments weren't directed to you Ian but to onlyholly. I understand perfectly what you are saying and agree with large chunks of it. However I found onlyholly's comment " Sorry, but his needs are more important than ours." offensive. I do understand that she has her own views but to imply...

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.........my son is in the top five percent academically regardless of the fact that he 1 Loses a week (rarely two-I try to tack them onto school holidays) for family holidays. I don't have the luxury of a husband anymore ,contractor or otherwise, so the only way...

OK Now I know what a crosswalk is !! :) I'm a Londoner by birth so quite used to hair raising road crossings so I think I'll be able to cope...Just have to remember to look the "wrong" way ;)

Virgin Upper Class with the limo pick up from home-allowing time to play with the trains in their Upper Class Lounge collected by stretch limo at MCO and checked into our suite at the Beach Club for the first week. We won't need a hire car as we have arranged to keep the limo for the entire...

Although it was much more limited availability the offer DID apply to one adult and one child. I booked for myself and my thirteen year old son for next January at Pop Century. We started by looking at March dates and ended up with January booking when the offer had been out for about a week as...

Did they say what this "interim" payment was for?

According to a teacher friend (whom I would assume to know what he is talking about-but yes-it's second hand) there has never been a test case challenging the right of parents taking children out of school-nor is there likely to be. The thinking is that "good reason" is so subjective that a...
