Iam in no way ashamed of my son , he is litttle sweetheart , and i adore him completely! I was ashamed of myself at leaving it so long as i have been increasingly aware of his ow little quirks.

Actually, I was refering as much to how you feel about yourself as how you feel about your son.

It's entirely natural for any parent to wish their child to be perfect, and to hope that any difficulties they have are just a phase.

3 is young age to be diagnosed, and you really could not have done much sooner.

Being diagnosed so early will hopefully be of great benefit to your son and allow you to get the right support for him throughout his school career.

I will never view anything to do with my son as a 'bad thing ' ,we are a strong family unit and i would do anything for my kids.

That is good to hear, and will give him the best chance of doing the best he can in life.

Iam hoping that a diagnosis will infact help , as floating along as i do at the moment is heart wrenching stuff , my son does noy talk at all , he makes noises and screams , i find this very hard as at times i feel like i must be failing him in his needs , and maybe causing some of the frustration that causes him to lash out.

I thank you for the kind words , any any advice you may have would be very dear to me.

I wish I could give you more concrete advice - I was diagnosed with Asperger's late in life (aged about 37), and am not a parent, so getting support for a young child is not an area I have a great deal of knowledge about.

However there are people on these forums that do, and I'm sure you'll get some good help and advice here.
