Autism Awareness for Southsea and Portsmouth
This poster sums up how I am feeling this week.
If there are any parents in Southsea and Portsmouth with children with Asperger's I'd love to hear from you. There doesn't seem to be a support network round here!
My son was only recently diagnosed even though I have known for years that he has Asperger's. I finally went ahead with the diagnosis because his school were not taking him seriously and I was becoming increasingly angry with the way he was being segregated because of his behaviour instead of being helped.
He is a very intelligent little boy and fortunately for me he is on the mild side of autistic so he is very loving. But he is dyspraxic which makes him clumsy at sport and he has terrible handwriting which makes literacy difficult for him and his organisational skills are horrific to say the least. This can cause meltdowns at school as well as the rest of it. Hard work, routine and empathy at home has really helped. But school continues to be a black hole of problems. I shall persevere though. Wish me luck.

Meat Free Monday is an environmental campaign started by Stella, Mary and Paul McCartney
to raise awareness of the climate-changing impact of meat production and consumption. Many people are unaware that livestock production is responsible for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions – that’s more than the entire transport sector;
"This is something anyone can do; it is a tiny thing with a huge impact. Meat Free Monday is about us all taking control of the environment we live in for our kids and the generations to come. Whether you eat meat or not, you can be part of this decision to limit the meat industry destroying our planet's resources." Stella McCartney
