Thank you Platypus101 and eco21268. I had a cry and a laugh reading your posts, both of which were much needed.

I will definitely keep ASD on the radar. It does seem to me that social interaction is an area that he struggles with.

We have four morning steps too Platypus101, and yes it does boggle the mind doesn't it?
