Screams

Oh crikey does this count as a website???? I have been looking at the release form for M for thurs which both him and me have to sign...It's full of legal jargon that i quite frankly can't make head nor tail of...He has to list all websites that he has either created, particiapted in, and any all materials he has posted on any website...He then has to list a description of each and all materials he has posted on any...Well he has a MySpace page that he hasn't looked at for months...That was created through one of his clubs so they learnt about that kind of stuff...And it's private so no-one can access it without permission except for his friends.

He and i presume myself cannot disclose any information about the programme or anyone involved with the programme...Wonder if that means he can't say if he gets through on thurs????? His school is very excited about it all...His music teacher had him practising today and was helping him with his voice...How can you manage to tell someone autistic that he can't discuss anything with anyone????  Am just so wary about all this happening...A year ago i would have said no way are you applying but he's come on so much this year...And he took it upon himself to fill in the application with very little help from me...Basically all he asked me for was spellings of some words and not much else...To be honest am just so proud that he has managed this himself and has decided himself that he can cope...I am worried how he will cope with the crowds of people that will be there...If it is proving difficult then i will grab someone official and ask politely if there is somewhere quiet he can wait...I detest all the sob stories they rattle out on these types of programmes but i am going to tell them when we get there that he is autistic...So that hopefully that can make them see why i am having to talk for him at some points rather than him speaking for himself...And why he speaks the way he does.

Oh crikey this is all so exciting yet at same time such a worry for me and well maybe i am worrying too much....I HATE legal speak LOL...Half the stuff on this form is same thing repeated in slightly different phrasing....I better remember and ask permission for the school newsletter just in case LOL.

It's BALTIC again am going for a bath to heat up, heating is on full blast and it's still baltic

Caff I wonder why they can't write these things in good old plain English ~ so we understood them ~ hope it all get's sorted out ~
M has done so well to fill in the application form himself ~ Ally x
