Our only son is about to move into his first student house which will be quite a life change for us as parents as well as him, and so rather than just sitting around moping, we're planning to get together with others in a similar situation to make time to try and and arrange to do a few different things - it could be anything from occasional walks, cinema/theatre, exhibitions, art group, pub quizzes, forming a kazoo orchestra, etc etc- open to suggestions. As a few friends and I are self employed and work from home, we're planning to do a few things during the day as well as evenings. I'm compiling an email list of anyone who may be interested, or we could also post 'events' here on the forum.

My son suggested the working title for the group could be O.A.Party (!!)

Cheeky boy!! I'll be watching this thread with interest. I'm training for a new career so don't have much spare time, but in my mind I'm saying 'yes! That would be great!'. The reality is I'm unlikely to make any get togethers, but if I know when & where then I might get lucky and be able to come. I think the


FREEE Party is a more appropriate moniker!

my teenager is away - I found 4 glasses 2 mugs 3 teaspoon 2 plates and a fork in his room. All now washed. I also found a load of dirty smelly clothes in his laundry bin-including all his sports kit - I have left them for him :) ( because he does not need any of my help anymore................)

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
