I meant it in the way of getting extremely upset, shaking, and unable to think straight ... almost like having fits.

He literally does shake, and walks around the room, can't keep still

He is probably a very high achieving autistic ....... undiagnosed

sorry to disappoint you


I always used to tell my students that I could get things wrong .......... best to admit it eh?


Writes out 100 times .. I will be better, I will not get things wrong

OOh Sylvia - it sounds like he has done very well, given his 'problem'

This is not a word I have heard before (and I even got my 'big' dictionary out) - not in there!!

I learn something new every day !!

He has done extremely well


He had to repeat year 2 in elementary school, and his parents were told he would never amount to anything.

Fortunately, he came across a teacher in high school when he was about 14 who understood this rather wild boy, and taught him how to work.

He has a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Chemistry, and a Bachelor's degree in Education. On August 5, while here, he will complete the final stage for a PhD in Education


His parents still deny that he has a problem, and would never take him for a diagnosis. He and my daughter have figured out what might be wrong, based a lot on things he learnt while doing the Education degrees.

As one might expect (or maybe not!) ..... he has proved to be an excellent teacher for kids with "problems".


But he just hates it when his "plan" does not go according to plan ...... though he is getting better at it! J has been helping him learn to cope.

re conniption



my mum used to use it a lot!!


so it might be made up!

I googled it


and maybe it is a little extreme for what M does!


conniption ---------- violent temper outburst, tantrum, hysterical fit


M shakes, develops a twitch, wrings his hands, keeps walking around, and talks round and round how is he going to deal with .......... the plane being delayed, not being able to get the course he wants, the principal not agreeing with his suggestion, etc etc

Sylvia - I recognise the pattern - A friend's son has the same 'difficulty' and several other people I know!

He seems to have 'come out well' from it - others do not always achieve the same. - WELL DONE to him !!!

With regard to the 'conniption' - yes , I think it is probably made up - I have a favourite of mine from my childhood - It is an animal and a mixture of what I had learned - It is a 'Hipporhinosopussycow'

I can see it now (and so too can my grand-daughter!!)

Err...

Conniption ...is a real word! It has varying degrees....from being a complete nut to being something like M is

Sheesh

Edit; here you are

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/conniption

My daughter with Asperger's is very similar if plans are changed. Hands shake, can't keep still, gets very wound up, talks non stop and has a mouth 'tic. I have to remember what I have planned and stick to it if poss but I sometimes fail miserably and all hell can break loose!!

shnerped

Now that's a made up word me and my mate used as kids...still do

I don’t know if she got it from her dad who is Jamaican or if we made it up together

Cyn.???

There was a display at a flower festival I went to recently which looked like a bad case of gonorrhea,,,

How do you know what that form of VD looks like please..

Orlando Gins?To see Shrek??

Too far to go there and back in an evening for me..

Which reminds me.
If I asked where we were going as a child when I had not been already told" where" the answer was always

There and back to see how far it is...

Now what kind of an answer is that for a child?

I hadn't seen anything like it until some plans went awry while they were living in Vancouver 3 years ago.

We were staying with friends at the time, J had not arrived .......... none of us could calm him, or make him see that there was nothing to worry about. He had to go and phone J, he was on there for over an hour ........ but she did manage to talk him down.


We all dislike it when plans go wrong ....... but this is almost as if it is the end of the world

Trouble is Sylv, to them it IS the end of the world......for the time being.

I know what you mean Sylvia !!

Have to go to bed just now but will be here again in the morning !!

And Sylv...Do you mean your B.I.L not your s.i.l as you use the male as in he,not the female as in she when you speak of them....?

Yoicks. Fans. Not like you to be so slow!! Speed up woman.............


Too much painting Sylv......the fumes have got to her....

In 1832 a Joseph Thompson led his wife "with a rope, or halter, round her neck and by the bellman announced that he was about to sell her"

Despite asking 50 shillings, he received only 20 and a Newfoundland dog

Wives made between a shilling and a guinea in Cardiganshire,mainly a shilling, as most that were sold were old shrews and well used by all the accounts I have seen..

Plus the Cardi,s are renowned for being tighter than a ducks A**e.

So there were old shrews wearing tight cardi's then?? No wonder they didn't fetch much!!
