Black Friday

Well so much for Good Friday! i had two panic attacks and felt quite strange most of the day! i even got my Wii out for some nice distraction but the anxiety had took over! but Saturday was a bit better! i took Alice to McDonalds for lunch and we had a look round the pet shop where strangely enough they had no bunnies! then we went to visit my mother, so it broke up the day nicely for me, and at night i had some red wine and watched The Spiderwick Chronicles which i thought was an awesome film!
It's very hard for me to take Alice out on my own! with her being Autistic she gets very nervous around people, and any sudden noise really upsets her! but hopefully the more i do it the easier it should get! i think!

I'm really sorry to learn about your wife :(

My autistic son has almost no emotional response to the death of a close relative. It's quite common, especially with Asperger's syndrome people. Sometimes I think he's lucky in that respect. Other times I think he's losing out big time...

Good luck for the future!

Hi Gary. I enjoyed Spiderwick too. I thought it was quite a tidy little flick.

I guess with Alice you just have to er on the side of caution : i.e lots of cuddles and talk on the assumption she understands but can't make the same sort of emotional responses that non autistics recognise.

Thats absolutely true Diver, however because she's nervous it puts me on high alert and i can't relax but i cannot give in! if she had her way she would not go out! only to school which is a routine for her
