Young deerhound cross, lockdown failure. He's starting to blossom now, showing all the right signs despite a poor start to life.

This has been a nice thread for me to read through. No autistic kids here [no kids whatsoever] but I was diagnosed as having high functioning autistim last year and my diagnosis has been a god send. Always been a bit kooky or eccentric in what I enjoy and found it overly hard in social situations growing up (still at 30, I'd say I've only 1 true friend). Large crowds still make me anxious as feck and I can be mad noise sensitive (something daft like the missus eating can wind me up chronic), but I've managed over the past 30yrs to find coping mechanisms for those situations, like lo

Fleet 3/4 whippet 1/4 Deerhound D.O.B 28/1/2018 For those who are following Fleets journey, here is a few snippets of yesterdays video from part 1 of Ferreting Fred's more in part two once I edit it. He is handy enough. ?

Animals are a gift for my lad mate, it relaxes him and he just likes being with them.

Just had a few hours out this morning

Bitch out same litter.

He spent the summer in the dog run mate, no joke. I knew if I put up a picture, some smart arse would nail me with that one lol A well, might as well stick one up lol

my mother is 74. worked as a nurse for the nhs untill she retired from there when she reached 60 from the age of 17 then got a job nursing in a care home, which she still does. she had covid last month and was pretty unwell but has pulled herself together and is going back to work next week. she loves to work. keeps her active she says. fantastic work ethic. differant generation.

Our first shoot tomorrow , first drive thin out the four hundred mallard. They are flying really well now because we have been flushing them off the pit for weeks now. Loads of pheasant and partridge about as well. Todays job is going to someone with a christmas tree plantation that is having them damaged by Roe. My mate has volunteered me for this job which will likely turn into a trauma. The good thing is i won't have to mess about doing a deer count and a cull plan, he just wants them all off his ground. Time to dust off the 30/06, good job i loaded a pile of ammo during the first loc

very intresting thread this chaps...real nice to hear your experiences ....im the same as sid earlier in this thread i dont really know much about it... by the way chaps it might interest you to know that the guy that came runner up in the worlds strongest man this year Tom Stoltman from scotland is autistic ....number in two the world .....its also widely believed that he will be number 1 in the next few years....and he holds the world record in the stone lifting....in fact he is so far ahead of anybody in the stones its frightening....

Think hes ok they offered him the covid vaccine he refused said hes scared of jabs ??

Fair play. I might line my bitch next year, if I do I'll remind you that you need a pup for him ?

Can't fault you Ian ?❄??

My boy has no speech, but it doesn't seem to phase him

Deer mullering postponed till Monday, i am not getting piss wet for some mouldy old Roe.

Two feet of snow here!

We feed on straw ( well I do, someone else had other ideas) it keeps them entertained and stop the deer hovering it up, I might as well of put the bike away and set off rowing ? around the shoot today, the track were flowing with the amount of water that was coming down, I was going to have a walk around and shoot some squizzers but I was just to wet, a did manage a big bitch sqizzer off one of the feeders on my way back to the farm ?

if your lucky you get to old age ,and they have lived it they have knowledge that can be passed on , they deserve to be well looked after in there later years

My niece is certainly on the spectrum, she is 22 and amazing, one of the nicest kids you'd ever meet, overly concerned about others...she's at Exeter Uni now studying Archaeology, like a computer with dates/ history and music... Struggles in exam situations, and needs additional time to complete the task, partly because of her OCD when presenting... Amazing kid though, me and my brother were living together when she was born, he was only 18 and his girlfriend (now wife) moved in with me and him and we had a baby in the house, I used to take my mates in to see her after the pub, much

13 month old bitch hunting well and getting there with the marking

Jess @ 8 months, still just a baw hair off 23tts hoping for another 2 inches, finding her feet and confidence now, #hopeful

It's a little better than the usual figure we observe on your shoot. ?

Don't believe what ye see fellas I know plenty of travellers and gorgers that course and not a single one of em would take a "gun" coursing there's no need I think the farmer has exaggerated to get the police out quicker. Or they've took the gun off the farmer that thought he was billy big balls and played him at his own game I've seen plenty of em jump out of motors with shotguns and bullet rifles thinking they're clever waving em about in a lay by where we've parked in the past and disappeared field after field inland from the road.

Dogs are ace aren't they , they just seem to know

He's the clown of the forum dougie..don't waste your time on him mate..just ignore him is best ?

Your obsessed. I feel for your family, I really do, your a weird c**t. I was outraged that someone thought it was acceptable to admit to leering at you children in a bus stop. The same person you was hell bent on standing up for. You sad lonely Prick.

An Indian guy decides to open a takeaway in Belfast on the Shankill Road. Sure enough, not long after he opens, he gets a visit from the "boys". They start by asking him what religion he is. He replies that he is Hindu. They said, "You're in Belfast now. You've got to choose a side. Proddy or Taig?" Again he said he was neither. He was a Hindu. So they asked where in India he was from. He said,"Delhi." At that they shot him in both kneecaps. As he lay there in agony, he asked why they had shot him. The thug answered, "If you were a Prod, you'd have calle

The right stuff stay in circles mate that's what I've found out

Don’t think you should keep him in a run though mate ?

I love going to cinema then off out for food with our lass not same watching a film at home

Positively peeing down here all day ,everything dripping wet . Thankfully tomorrow is forecast dry all day but the ground will be wetter than the river Trent . The birds will be sitting tight it,l be stand on them to get them airborne. Still be glad to be out ,good luck everyone.

We are all on 'the spectrum'. Some more than others thats all.

cheeky bugger, im 76, still got all my faculties about me,, by the way, while im here, could you remind me what day it is

Our 1st drive tomorrow is also to thin the ducks out as going through some feed ?????good numbers of pheasants knocking about too seeing as none have been shot yet. Hopefully weather better than today as pissing down now ?

Mate, you would be no different to any other dad in the world, you’d deal with whatever you had to deal with because that is just what you do ?

Not at all mate, what you gonna do, send them back ? Lol This is imho the hardest thing to get your head round, i was a very “black & white just get on with it” type bloke myself and with the kids until my youngest. And the thing I had to teach myself is that they can’t “just get on with it” anymore than I can teach myself to fly......they are hard wired that way. In many ways they are having to exist in a world where everyone and everything is weird to them.......like being the only sane bloke in the asylum. That is the battle they face every day when they wake up.

That’s why the foxs are running riot, you lazy git ??

Is there a possibility that the spike in deaths for 2020 was a case of covid19 harvesting people who were on the way out anyway and that there will be a corresponding lowering of death rates in the upcoming year?

Like a transgender version of the Mason's

We know a lad, incidentally called Tom, middle 20s met him several years back, he was a meeter and greeter/trolley collector at Asda. Mad keen on buses, was telling the Mrs.that he got a new job as customer service advisor at the local bus company. He went for an interview and pretty much told them their full schedule and timetable for all the bus services in our area ? Cheers, D.

My girl is ok when she gets to know people but has her own group of friends and takes a while to trust people and is very awkward if even her best friends try to hug her.Most people dont even realise that she is autistic and just think shes shy unless they spend a bit of time around her and get to see her little quirks.She had a real rough time going back to school after the lockdown it was almost like starting all over again.Also she cant understand why kids can be nasty or mean as weve taught her to always be nice and treat people how you like to be treated and like I already said she takes

That's some nice testing ground ?. I wished I could get an excavator on my boat?99% of my digging is done alone in the middle of nowhere on an island.On the plus side my rockdigs are usually 2m or less.but it can all generally be shifted by hand without the aid of many tools.There is very little dirt involved.You jus need a strong back and a weak mind. Honestly I avoid areas like you just posted.Tip my hat to you Mr RF I do have friends and family who are just a phone call away.They are the people who really make what I do possible and none of them keep terriers but are always wil
