We had a child that when they arrived the parents wrote to say under no circumstances were they prepared to discuss the fact that he may be autistic, he was to be given no concessions and just had to 'fit in' (both parents were teachers, and I worked very closely with one of them in a previous role), our senco tried to get them to change their minds but they refused, their child had 5 years of really struggling with us, just because you don't have a diagnosis doesn't mean that you don't have that condition.

I hope my posts haven't offended anyone, I need to get back to talking about slop!

Prob why she filed late last year, wonder if they're in for this year?

It's a term used when submitting anonymised annual data to the Care Commission of people with autism and or/learning disorders known to the local authority in a particular year. Obviously this tends to be people who require more assistance or have complex needs of which autism is only one. Data includes type of housing, whether in employment and type of employment, who they live with, category of carer (eg family, spouse etc), whether they use day centres and so on. Aspergers is still used in this context as opposed to Classic Autism as well. my employment!

Not only does that sound amazing, but ”basic and delicious“ could be a great Tinder bio if anyone’s looking!

All I know about Pythagorus comes from Philomena Cunk -

“His big idea was that everything in the world could be done with numbers... like in Argos.
Best known these days as the inventor of the triangle, a world without his ideas would be unthinkable, because there’d be no Dairylea, and no way of starting snooker”.

I first put it together when I was a teen ( 12-ish ?) and just learning about making things.

Don’t the mandarins make the cream curdle? It makes me think of mixing orange juice and milk...

I'm laughing to myself because I've just remembered the time when Jack whipped her Twitter followers into a frenzy over her vegan crackling recipe which, to this day, still has not been made available to the public.
It was probably classified as a biohazard by the UK government and the recipe sealed in a vault for the greater good.

I saw this under the post where Jack was complaining about people taking her recipes and it made me cackle. It isn’t aimed at Jack, but essentially it’s what she does with her own damn recipes. “Any herb will do”

Not that I recall , it was a recipe from a magazine and I’m hoping at least 3 Home Economists gave it the go ahead .

Adding a little bit of acid makes double cream thicken without whisking - it's usually lemon that's used for quick soured cream. Some tinned Mandarins aren't going to cause any alarming results...

Also, sending to everyone here with ADHD and/or autism, and to those who are parents of “neurodiverse” kids.
I have so much to say, and wanted to add my own experience and two cents, but I don’t even know where to start, and just ended up making this instead!

But she is very tiny and may need it to work out how tall a ladder she needs to reach into her top cupboards
