Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hi Connie, I get my socks at Marshall Fields in the Men's Department. They are made by 'Gold Toe' and they are very long knee socks. I am a 5' 9 " female with large calves and the socks are long enough that I can fold them over the whole strap of my AFOs (about 3 or 4 extra inches). They never ride down on me either. If there isn't a Marshall Fields around you, check the internet to see if 'Gold Toe' has a web site. Good Luck Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 None of my kids can stand to wear underwear or socks. I make them wear socks in the winter..........but never underwear. I'm starting to make my 10 yr old daughter because of hygiene issues that will arise one of these years,,,,if you know what I mean......but man,,,,,undies are not happening here. I wonder if they'll realize they NEED to one day when they're like, in gym class or something ? Who knows.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I asked him when he was a teen, Aren't you hot in those socks and he said no, he really wasn't. It is very odd but then he is an aspie and they have quirks. He never had trouble wearing underwear so that was never an issue. Whatever it is about the socks, its all he's worn on his feet since he was a teen. Wags! Wags! Wags! Lowry "There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face."

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I Know right? I spoke w/ the nurse who seems to be the only one w/ real concern for my son she wasn't aware of all the things going on, I told her to make sure the teacher kept an eye on Josh as he is allready being bullied and teased in class this would only add to their meaness, she said she would speak w/with the teacher, no i didn't address this but will make sure school pschologist and the director of sped knows about it so it can be addressed as an issue, This school doesn't see a problem w him to date but i think a 9 yr old who is gagging and throwing up in school then fine at home, who is unable to wait to go to the bathroom which leads to accidents, misses the school bus on purpose and other things is a sign that he is having troubles at school wouldn't you agree?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Oh my, I would be having some words with the teacher over this. At your next meeting, find out what teacher's problem is. It seems like they are always blaming him for his problems and trying to make him "be responsible" but he's just a little kid with some major neurological issues! So they need to start treating him with a little care and concern!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Thanks again Roxanna and I am gonna have another meeting, he was telling me about it again today, this really bothered him that his teacher wouldn't allow him to go even after he said it was an emergency and couldn't wait and then the other children laughed at him, which i am sure the teacher will deny seeing, or knowing about it. It really makes me angry. SherryRoxanna <madideas@...> wrote: Oh my, I would be having some words with the teacher over this. At your next meeting, find out what teacher's problem is.
