    Great video again, really helps with what to look for as I'm shocking with fashion and clothing brands.
    Great to hear about Lenny's diogenes, at least it will help with school and getting any extra help he needs, keep up the great work 👍

    Well done for speaking on Lenny's condition. An early diagnosis is a good thing so he (and the rest of the family) have an understanding and support for you all. Still the same little star, will struggle with some aspects and do very well in others❤

    I went by the local good will the other day and there were two full lines across the parking lot, I think people took time to offload a lot of clutter, and elders usually pass away in the winters during a small window of time, so there might be a huge amount of boomer loot coming out of the woodworks.

    Although you may be experiencing difficulties with understanding and adapting to Lenny’s asd just remember in many cases these types of conditions, behaviours and ways can often be more like super powers. Some of the most successful people have been on the spectrum and been able to do what they do due to the fact at their wired.
    It will be challenging at times but every child / person will bring challenges to the table in their own ways.
    Im sure you won’t but try not to look at it as a barrier but more like a step closer to greatness and a design maybe set for geniuses which of course will be challenging for simple folk like us.
    Hope you all had a blessed one.
    All the best for new year and many years to come.

    My 2 year old grandson has Autism, never thought about an awareness lanyard as he frequently has melt downs. His special interests are also transport, numbers and letters. My grandson can “read” about a hundred words, just by recognising the sequence of letters, so when I heard Lenny count at the end and wondered if he also has hyperlexia. Love your channel, I’m going to be opening up a vented account to seek some of my old clothes and shoes but your inspiring me to also do a bit of reselling lol 😜

    I taught a 4years old boy, before I started the nursery he was labelled a naughty boy, due to his behaviour, he had been going to the speech therapist, until I said to the parents get his hearing tested, his hearing was low, got grommets and a big change in behaviour and speech, his older brother had the same problem

    Hi George..
    I know this doesn't relate to you but. I've just discovered that as of tomorrow (4th January), ebay are putting 75p on everything that the private sellers sell plus 4%.. I only list stuff for £1.65 per item, that would put my listings up to £3.36 as the "fee" will go on the listing. So a 75p flat fee takes it to 2 40 & 4% of that is about 11 p so £2.51 , I can barely sell anything at 1.65 now they are putting the price up by almost a pound.. AND, as of tomorrow, private sellers won't get their money until the item has been delivered! Got to start using ebays "simple shipping " thing, I think it's bloody outrageous !
    Happy new year to you and the family. 🎉

    George glad you have a diagnosis for Lenny. It’s not always easy when you need support in school and I assume you will apply for a EHCP. Keep this as a reference for the future if you don’t already know about the following charities that give educational advice- Ipsea and Sossen, they have helped me so much.
    All the best for 2025

  • @juliebrooke6099
    @juliebrooke6099 20 днів тому

    Lenny couldn’t have a better family to support him because of the understanding you’ll already have through Amy’s diagnosis. Great that you’ve got an early diagnosis, well before he starts school so they can get extra support in place for him if needed or make arrangements for a quiet place without a frustrating delay . Make sure your chosen school understands his needs well in advance, don’t just rely on nursery to pass on the information.(Retired early years teacher)

    Hi, great video . 2 of my grandsons have ASD , challenging and amazing watching them grow . Unfortunately, some schools are not good for children living with ASD . I shall keep my fingers crossed that your little boy gets a good school . You're fortunate you got a diagnosis while he is still in nursery, it'll help with the transition.
    A while ago, you mentioned an app you use to quickly transfer photos from your phone to your laptop. Could you remind me what the app is called . Thank you.

    • @lamaxx8562
      @lamaxx8562 16 днів тому

      Don't rush to leave full time job! Treat eBay resale as hobby. You'll spend a lot of time for sourcing, listing, posting etc. You won't have sales every day, you'll have to deal with returns, idio*ts who never read descriptions/checking measurements and scummers.
      No paid days off and sick leaves. And eBay will report you to HMRC if you make more than £1000 pcm...
      Do it for fun, not for leaving.
