Taking a break but wishing you all a very happy Valentine's Day in the meantime ....

Murray and Clive are taking a little break ...

Away from the computer and blogging and facebook .....

It has been a most difficult week here with all the controversy over Tony Humphreys and his article in the Irish Examiner last week claiming that 'autism' didn't exist and it was 'cold mothers' that made children autistic.

There has been a huge backlash to that article and many opinions aired on radio, on facebook, on twitter and in the newspapers over the past week on his 'assumptions'.  We have not commented on Clive's blog about it over the past week because Clive's blog has become something very important and personal to Murray and we didn't want to put up comments and links to things that he can not understand or comprehend.

To that end we are still not saying commenting on what we think of the man here on Clive's blog - we will leave that to the very many other wonderful contributors who have blogged about it during the week.

If you do want a very thorough round-up of all that has happened - we suggest a read of I speak of dreams

In the meantime, we think we need a little bit of breathing space to calm our nerves and help Murray's Mom recover her strength (nothing to do with 'silly' media articles but she is having severe problems with her hip revision that she had done after her hip replacement several years ago.)

To that end, we are resting .....

Resting from blogging, from Facebook and from commenting for a while ....

We apologise to all our wonderful friends out there who follow Clive and Murray's story and support us so much but we hope to be back soon.

Until then,

Clive & Co

(Oh, yes Happy Valentine's Day too, in advance!)
