    Austism spectrum

    Like I say this is the opinion of a GP and a counsellor with experience in the field. I have an 18month wait for an assessment so due to the above and my research I'm going to assume it's the case in the meantime. Sent from Somerset using magic

    Austism spectrum

    Silverclaws2 and MikeeMiracle this is all fascinating stuff. I believe that I also have HFA which I believe is what used to be referred to as Asperger's. As far as bullying goes I went through that in my school years (quite probably connected in retrospect) so it's now water off a ducks back...

    Austism spectrum

    No offence taken... My doctor's words were he certainly believes that is what it is and yes, has referred me (I have also seen a counsellor with experience in this field who believes this to be the case). Unfortunately there is an 18month waiting list at the moment for any assessment and until...

    Austism spectrum

    Some things are.... At work.... not too much as I have realised I have developed strategies to cope... anxious going into meetings, a need for order and dislike of plans changing. Personal life ...not enjoying socialising, have very few close friends, don't like calling people (fine at work)...

    Austism spectrum

    Yes, I've watched the Chris Packham program and there is so much that I can identify with, although I'm not sure I'd want to live entirely by myself.....it's a huge spectrum though!

I have, according to my research what I believe to be what used to been known as Asperger's. I have to wait around 18 months for any sort of assessment due to long waiting...

    Unsuccessful search for lightweight simple high leather boots, close to trail shoes flexibility

    Haha...I have the same problem [emoji23] Yes, if anything they are generous but I'm a size 10 and the 10 fits. Just tried to look at the label on them to see if it's euro sizing or UK but it's not visible anymore so don't know if they're 44 or 45. They are a wide for but that works for me. The...

    Unsuccessful search for lightweight simple high leather boots, close to trail shoes flexibility

    I imagine the sole would be replaceable but I'm no expert! I've had mine at least six years and although not worn constantly they are worn regularly (they're not waterproof so not worn so much in the winter) and really don't have a great deal of wear to the soles. They certainly seem more robust...

    Leatherman ''BOND''

    Yes, there was some debate about this on a Facebook group. It's a real shame the blade isn't on the outside when the tool is folded so as it could fold completely shut. Sent from Somerset using magic
