Articles coming soon to Samuel's World

coming soon

I hope you are finding Samuel’s World and its contents useful so far – please do contact me with any comments or ideas/suggestions that you think might be useful for the readers, it is still early days.

Due to a family crisis with getting our son moved to a special school this year I am finding keeping this website supplied with ongoing constant articles very time consuming – please accept my appologies – I hope to be able to dedicate more time to this support site once we have reached our goal!!

Don’t forget if you have a question but you can’t seem to find the answer, just email me to register to join our forum.

  • Understanding Tourettes – which book to buy for the whole family
  • What toys and gadgets help Samuel to relax and chill out – and where to buy them!
  • From a daddy’s own words – a personal account from daddy on how he felt regarding Sam’s diagnosis. – (This is proving difficult!!)
  • Statements – our story so far in this difficult battle. We are now at the Tribunal Stage with a possible court hearing late 07/early o8. We did achieve our Statement but alas it has not helped Sam move schools!!!!

Looking forward to “From a daddy’s own words.” My 9 year old, Ben, has Tourettes and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder/PANDAS. I can relate to so very much of the information you share about Samuel. I wonder if Samuel’s physicians have explored PANDAS and the link to Strep infections.

Hi John, thanks for your comments – I am glad the readers so far are able to relate to my articles. I think the article “From a daddy’s own words” will be the hardest one yet to write as it is sharing another person’s feelings/thoughts and the adjustment that too place along with the acceptance. I hope when I publish my husband’s story it will help others with their own situation.

Further to the strep infections – this was discussed at St Georges at Sam’s assessment day, as to me the severity of the tics grew worse following the throat infections but this has not been concluded or proved at the meeting.

Best Wishes
lynette
