Lovely Here in Birmingham, wobbly Bobbly ice cream later lol ๐ my garden desperately needs water ๐ง now. Planted some new plants in containers yesterday, and oddly found an unbroken chicken egg in one of my pots??? We think a squirrel must have buried it, it wasn't even cracked.

Looking lovely there @Elvisdog though I want to know what happened with that egg. Was the squirrel wearing padded gloves? ๐

@Sandy_123 thank you. The interview was with a doctor. He only asked certain questions, about my son's graves disease, his washing habits, going out locally and public transport, he mentioned my son's diagnosis of Dyspraxia, I sent them a report, that a lovely OT lady from chams completed, he was diagnosed with significant Dyspraxia, which made sense to me. He asked if he could cook, use a microwave or a air fryer i have all of them, but he doesn't like microwave food and he isn't good with the controls on my cooker. He asked about medication, my son refuses to take it though, he is absolutely terrified of going to hospital and will only take pain killers, he has alot of headaches and heyfever treatment as he has it really bad. Both of my sons are very particular about what medications they will take, im not fully sure why this is, they both say they don't want to feel different, which I understand but it's important my youngest son takes medication to control his graves, but he just won't take it anymore, even the consultant has told him, to no avail.
It did feel like the questions that were asked were meant to undermine his Autism, he didn't ask any specific questions on how he managed day to day.
I told him that my son had started a pathway course which could hopefully lead to employment. My son wants to work he just needs help in getting there. He is good at masking which unfortunately means he doesn't always get the support he needs. It's hard to get understanding and sad that capita etc use this to their benefit.
