Improvements

Our son done really well this month. When he went back to school, they did the votes for school councillor for each class, and our son was elected for his class. Fantastic! Then last week at basketball, he was man of the match. Terrific! The only problem is, how will he improve on that? Not that it matters whether he improves or not, he is excellent just the way he is, as is our daughter. But what makes it so special with our son, is the fact that he has Aspergers Syndrome, and to be given that kind of responsibility is out of this world.

He has been invited to a birthday party as well, which has not happened for over a year. You can't see it, but I am beaming with pride at the moment.

It's Been a While

It's been a while since my last post, but that is due in part to the Summer Holidays, and some stuff that we have had to work through. During the holidays, we only really went on two outings. One was to Dover Castle and the other was to Walmer Castle. On the whole, the weather was lousy. Dover Castle was great, it has so much history, and there are so many parts of it. Walmer Castle was really BOOORRRIIIIINNG! There was hardly anything there! The grounds were pretty, the Duke Of Wellington's death mask was cool, but that was it! However, there was one really funny part. There was a thunderstorm whilst we were there, and while we were in the shop the power went out. Then we heard the screams from down in the dungeon. LOL. I know it is rotten, but it was also so funny.

The other thing that happened during the holidays, was that we had applied for an assessment to Statement for our son who has Aspergers Syndrome. The Local Education Authority (LEA) turned us down at first, then after his head mistress said that she was going to fight on our side and not the LEA's, and that we got the help of the Kent Autistic Trust, they changed their minds. Since then, he has had a paediatric assessment and had an educational psychologist see him. Both have said that he needs a statement. Woohoo!
