			<description>Hi everyone......my user name is suppose to be saved_by_grace but I obviously made a typo.   



I'm a single mom of 3 children.  My oldest is 12 and believed to be ADHD and ODD.  My soon to be 11 year old is autistic, ADHD, and mild MR.  My youngest is soon to be 8 and is showing signs of delays and some autistic traits.



I'm also starting the process of divorcing the father of my children for many good reason......I do have biblical grounds for seeking a divorce for those who may be wondering. </description>

Would you recommend this option for another person affected by autism?]]></description>

			<description>ADHD



What is it?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common childhood-onset behavioural disorder. 



Those affected have a greatly reduced ability to maintain attention without being distracted, to control what they're doing or saying (because of impulsivity) and to control the amount of physical activity appropriate to the situation (that is, they're restless and fidgety).



ADHD is also called attention deficit disorder (ADD) or hyperactivity. The disorder  ...</description>

how are you, sorry its been so long. Have moved house and have had no telephone or internet for 3 months.

telephone companies have been a nightmare. 

At least  have nice neighbours here.

i am certainly alot happier here. People are alot more friendly.

The house is bigger and is rented from the council. So I currently have an OT refferal through to make adaptions. This will hopefully make life a little easier.

How are your children? Are they ok? is hubby at home or on ship?

			<description>Adults with learning disabilities 'invisible' Full Story Adults with learning disabilities living at home have become &quot;invisible&quot; because many local authorities are not providing adequate support services for them, a report published today found.



The Missed Out, Missing Out study by the charity Quarriers highlights Scotland's &quot;hidden&quot; population.



It said a large proportion of Scotland's estimated 12,625 adults with learning difficulties, many of whom live at home  ...</description>

			<description>Autism 'has big impact on adults'  

 

The NAS says autistic teenagers need more support 

Almost half of adults with autism in England live with their parents, a National Autistic Society report says. 

And just 15% of them are in full-time employment, says the society's &quot;Moving on Up?&quot; report. 



But the society says this could improve if the right planning and support were offered to young people with autism.

			<description>Autism 'may be missed in girls'  

 

Girls may show different symptoms 

Girls with mild autism are less likely to be identified and diagnosed than boys, a study suggests. 



Researchers examined 493 boys and 100 girls with autistic spectrum disorders. 



They found the girls showed different symptoms, and fewer signs of symptoms traditionally associated with autism, such as repetitive behaviour. 



The researchers, who presented their work to a Royal College of Psychiatrists meeting,  ...</description>

1. Shame



People growing up with a learning disability often feel a sense of shame. For some, it is a great relief to receive the diagnosis while for others the label only serves to further stigmatize them.
