| It's me and her brother, ie, the two people she most often eats with. My son does occasionally talk/chew with his mouth open which I am trying to correct, but so does my daughter (though obviously that doesn't bother her and she denies it if I point it out). She doesn't mention it happening at schoo... |

| In the last few months, my daughter (nearly 12) has decided that the noise I make when swallowing is disgusting, horrible, can't be tolerated. This applies whether I am eating in front of the telly (with the noise of the telly at least partially masking it) or even just having a cup of tea. However,... |

| If you and your child both had similar problems, and you are pursuing a very different style of parenting, then that is inevitably a judgement on your father and his behaviour. I am sure you don't mean it to be so, but it is, and he may well see it that way. That feeling of being judged and found wa... |

| Why is that only the women seem to enjoy and not the one guy who answered? Is parenting fun for women and hell for guys? I think this is more about who uses this forum. My experience of this forum is that it is used mostly by women. And rightly or wrongly I think it tends to be mothers who are most... |

| It's kind of you to be concerned about her and her child, but I don't think you will ever be able to help her very much because you lack influence over her. You don't know her offline, and there's no reason for her to treat your thoughts with much respect, which is what would be required for her to ... |

| We are in a similar position, renting while doing up a new house. I would suggest spending lots of time in the new house during the renovation. You will have to anyway because of talking to builders etc, so bring DD with you and let her see everything that's happening (reassuring her that it's going... |

And good luck to you too WAautisticguy. I am non-diagnosed with a diagnosed daughter. I hated my awful elitist b... |

| I'm sorry I can't give you much advice but you have my sympathy. I would agree with other commenters that your children are still very little and your 18 month old in particular is just as the age of some mobility but zero common sense. There's not much you can do but make your life easier with chil... |

Good luck flowermom, my daughter is starting high school too (aged 11 here in Britain). She is feeling positive and the school knows of her condition and is being supportive.
Sending all happy thoughts to you too. |

This morning (we are in the UK) daughter is making a big effort to be nicer to my son and we have agreed that if he starts pretending to be a dog... |

| Hello WelcometoHolland. She is verbal. We are having a house extended so I left them in the car while I talked to the builder (the site is dangerous). That's when the hitting occurred. They've fallen out several times when I've left them in the car together like this outside the house. It's obviousl... |

My daughter has spent most of the day at the stables (which she loves, this is is her special interest). She came home tired and s... |

| This is only a personal experience, and I am undiagnosed with a diagnosed daughter, but I went to an academic school which put a great deal of emphasis on grades. I am clever and did very well. I was generally less than happy but feel I would have been so at any school. However, I am glad I went to ... |
