New changes
At the last meeting it was agreed to change the format of out group, it has become increasingly difficult for people to attend monthly meetings and we have had a lot of calls from people who are interested in support but can't attend. Therefore we have changed to a Support Network. The main of this will be run from a new Facebook page here : Kilkenny-ASD-Families-Network
If you want any advice or just a chat simply visit the page and feel free to post, all posts are moderated to protect from spam.

Halloween Party !
Proposed Date for Our alternative Halloween Party is Monday 29th ( time to be decided ).
Krisztina has very kindly offered to arrange a giant pumpkin sheet for the children to Decorate.
Two other Ideas are to make spooky Eyes that glow using loo roll/ kitchen roll tubes and glow sticks.
and to make traditional spooky pumpkins.
I can supply patterns for the pumpkins, so all you folks need to do is bring the supplies !!
Kids can come dressed how they like and as we did with the X-mas party if every family brings something to share we should have plenty to go around.
We are trying to steer as much towards healthy eating as possible so please keep this in mind.
Hope to see you all at the next meeting where we can finalise any ideas .

Proposed changed to the DSM form IV to V
Just an interesting link I found with regards to the changs being made in may next year to the DSM.
Some of you know already about the proposal to do away with the Diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, changing it instead to ASD - Autistic Spectrum Disorder and it seems there may also be classes with 3 levels of severity.
Below is a link to the DSM V Website, showing the proposed revision and the old DSM IV Criteria.
See what you think ....
