    Thanks for those - really helpful. We make sure he goes to bed every night at pretty much the same time.  He is a nightmare to get to sleep - essentially one of us has to sit and read to him for about 45 minutes to a hour until his brain 'shuts down'.  We occasionally get away with putting an audio book (he loves these especially Michael Murpogo books) on for him otherwise if we try to leave him to go sleep on his own he will just keep coming out his room or just keep moving stuff around his room. Strangely enough he very rarely gets up during the night which is a blessing but he normally comes running through before 6.30am most mornings.

    Agree on the outdoor bit. I've always struggled with him in the house so pretty much always take him on a walk or to the local beaches and he is fine as long as it's somewhere there are no major risks as his danger awareness is almost non-existent.  That is part of the problem though I think when it comes to the school in that he just cannot sit and concentrate on anything really. 

    Interesting on the food suggestion.  He eats a really wide range of foods (apart from anything with the merest hint of spice..) and only rarely gets any sweets. I'll have to keep an eye out and see if there is any discernable pattern though.

     

    Does the wee man play any sports?

    A girl has just been killed and as one final act of transphobia the British state will force her to be registered as a boy for the funeral paperwork. Could you have some decency and realise this isn't the time nor the place for vitriolic pish.

    Do you honestly expect someone who was raised by parents that helped him get drunk girls into his bedroom will have any sort of decency regarding anything?
