Hi all my name is Joy. i am married to Miles and have 3 children. I also work 30 hours as a midwife and work as a real nappy advisor in my spare time (what spare time). I live in Doncaster. We also have 3 cats, 2 rabbits, 1 guinea pig and a goldfish. As you can see my life is very busy. Add to this that my oldest boy Marcus (12)has Autism and has very challenging behaviour. I also have twins Piers and lydia who are 4. Piers is a very lively little boy a bit boistrous very hyperactive and difficult to control he is being assessed on the 17th Dec for ADHD/ autism. Lydia is a typical little girl loves pink, make up, dancing to ABBA and dressing up. she is extremely shy and quite a stroppy madame at times. All my children are wonderful but also challenging and at time i am utterly exhausted but wouldn,t have it any other way. We may be embarking on HE with Marcus soon due to problems at school.
I used cloth nappies with the twins, have an allotment, try to recylcle as much as posssible and eat organic as much as possible but I have a long way to go to be totally green. Look forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Joy, I'm in Doncaster too and home-ed (I'm the Education Otherwise Local Contact).  My two eldest boys (14 and 12) are on the autistic spectrum (my eldest specifically Aspergers).  I'd be happy to talk about HE if you'd like to phone me (have also pm-ed you).
