@marksandspencer hi, I've got a fly in the birthday cake I bought earlier today! I don't have time to go and return it to get another one :(

@sarajcox Duck! Duck!

@CressidaCowell Thank you! He's swelling with pride having read your tweet!

@CressidaCowell Hi! This is my 11y olds most recent drawing inspired by How To Train Your Dragon. I think he's amazing so wanted to share with you too!

@benedsmith You'll have a t shirt next year 'Maybe The Best Dad In Our Street'

Here's a video of me talking about what it's like to have a brother who is not autistic.

[Caroline Sturgess @CarolineESmith]

@NadineAbell Me too! My little one had a task to do as part of MH week where he had to draw a picture of all the wonderful things in his world. There was hardly anything in it, over the course of a year he's lost everything other than family. And now has to go back to school and be happy!

[Caroline Sturgess @CarolineESmith]

@NadineAbell This is so true. Even my confident, school-loving middle boy doesn't want to go back so I'm going to spend the next 2 weeks focusing on making them all happier about it.

@sarajcox The smell of spray on snow and making up rude words to Mistletoe and Wine!

@ShappiKhorsandi @emmagannon Absolutely this! Always the young boys who would help with a pushchair when there were all those steps.

@ginnymoon80 @lucindawood80 @xandvt We're only early doors but the private psychologist I found for my son has 20 years exp with autistic kids and does CBT. Happy to PM you her details if it would help?

[Caroline Sturgess @CarolineESmith]

@NadineAbell @ginnymoon80 Also to say, hes suffered massively with increased anxiety the last 6 months and esp with the return to school. It's so hard to access help (we've opted for some private CBT sessions) so I really feel your frustration with what little is out there.

[Caroline Sturgess @CarolineESmith]

@NadineAbell @ginnymoon80 I can thoroughly recommend Nadine's downloads! My 10y old (who is also autistic) developed a fear of choking and hes been listening to Nadine every evening for about 4 weeks and it's been amazing. Not an overnight cure but has given him some tools to help cope.

[Caroline Sturgess @CarolineESmith]

@NadineAbell No cause :( He's very anxious about lots of things- school, sleeping, crowds and this is another one. Will see if we can try some visualisation! Thanks :)

[Caroline Sturgess @CarolineESmith]

@NadineAbell Can this work for a fear of swallowing/choking? My 10 year old is really suffering and we're looking for help!

[Caroline Sturgess @CarolineESmith]

@benedsmith Looks like you had a great time!

@jackthorne The girl in the red top knows something...

[Caroline Sturgess @CarolineESmith]

@melissawright75 That looks like a Quentin Blake drawing in the cream!
