I've heard Paul Shattock speak twice (on similar subjects) and I appreciate he isn't for everyone! No, never involved in PATOSS, I just go to these things as a nosy parent and as my Mum is a TA she takes me along to those that are aimed at professionals!

Not that I ever met him, but I heard a lot about what he thought. I'd looked at the Asperger Marriage on amazon, it gets very variable reviews. Were you involved in PATOSS then Sally?

Sounds like a good course. When you twittered about Biddulphs I was assuming it would be Steve ‘Raising Boys’Biddulph. Sounds like a good course.

I have to say that I have mainly given up going to ASD seminars now because the professionals speaking just have no idea at all about dealing with autism on a daily basis. One example was the teacher at our local special school, kid hated supermarket, teacher went too to help with strategies and of course the kid behaved because their teacher was there - ergo success apparently *rolls eyes* If you ever get to hear Tony Attwood speak I throughly recommend it, him and Paul Shattock (works for the Autism Research Unit and has an autistic son) are the best talks I've been to outside our local speech therapist who I love! “An Asperger Marriage” by the Slater-Walkers is an excellent book if you like that kind of thing, my copy is with a friend at the moment otherwise I’d lend it out!
