    [Albion] Premier League 21-23/1/22

    Is that Dennis out of our game with Watford now?

    [Football] Our scoring problem

    Mitoma on loan at USG is supposed to be that type of player, hopefully he is!

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    In our house we have been saying for a long time that neurodiverse people have historically been expected to conform to "society norms" which is why they mask so much, which makes it hard to diagnose. But, it's actually society and neurotypicals who sometimes need to accept neurodiverse people...

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    My wife and I have just taken a look at these, one of the other issues he has is in class any talking by other kids, or noises, completely distract him to the point he can't hear the teacher. From the reviews on there, it could also help with that so this might actually be very very helpful...

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    One other thing I didn't mention which in hindsight I should have done for balance... on the way back to the car my wife was with my youngest making sure he was ok (She could see from the Saints end that things were kicking off, so even worse for her watching it and not being able to do...

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    Thanks again! I felt awful shouting about him being autistic - a) because I didn't want it to feel like we were entitled to get out more than anyone else, and b) didn't want to embarass him, although he is very open about his autism - but it was a situation where I felt he really needed to get...

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    Thanks, I don't believe it will have any lasting damage, and I will chat to him about it before we go to another game to make sure. Sad that you can't take your grandkids to football, although maybe the sensory room that's mentioned on this thread could help with that?

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    That's really useful to know, I won't be making that mistake again, that's for sure!

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    Yes, and ironically our season tickets are right in front of it in the family stand! (We are right at the back) It's a great idea, and have seen many kids/adults use it during games. Home games aren't an issue (we are too quiet in the family stand!), but it is definitely something to think...

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    Thank you - I hope so too, I want to make sure he is comfortable going and not just going to please his dad, so will have a chat to him about it and see what things we can do to make it easier for him in future (ear defenders etc.)

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    Absolutely, I was half expecting someone to reply with "What were you thinking, taking him to an away game if he has sensory issues" - but it isn't as simple as that, he loves watching games live (doesn't really watch on TV) - and mostly it isn't a problem when we go to matches, it's just this...

    [Albion] Thank you so much to the fan who helped my autistic son yesterday...

    A little background... My wife and elder son are Saints fans, along with my sister in law and niece and nephew... my youngest son (12 and autistic) and I are BHA fans, so this game means a little more to us than most. We have a season ticket and travel to home games from north of Birmingham...

    [Albion] Starting eleven plus subs for the Tottenham game

    Interesting that he isn't in the 18 at all today for Stoke... either we have had a word (unlikely - they are well within their rights to play him) or he is also injured :facepalm:

    [Albion] Why did the boos happen and/or who was targeted?

    I was watching on TV (bad fan with car snowed in north of Birmingham) and there were boos clearly heard (unless Sky were having a laugh and added them to the sound effects!) Booing the team or a player unless there is a severe lack of effort (I’m looking at you Leon Best) is ridiculous. Yes, we...

    [Albion] November internationals

    Included in Linekers goals for England are 2 hat tricks against Turkey when they were not very good and 4 against Malaysia… do they not count? When Rooney beat the England goal scoring record many belittled the achievement saying he mainly scored against poor opposition. Seems the same is...

    [Other Sport] The Official NFL 2021 Thread

    One thing I have learnt over the years, is that you never write the Seahawks off... when you think they are on their knees, something happens and suddenly they are in with a shot... However, this really does look like season over right now, with key players out and no idea when Wilson will...

    [Albion] Will the ticket exchange open? - yes it will!

    When listing on the exchange, how do you know if/when your ticket has been sold - do you get an email or do you need to check the site?
