Hi ti all you lovely folks 
I took the first step towards a diagnosis for my 3 year old son today , we visited our GP! I did not think i would find it so hard to get the words out , i ended up in floods of tears and so upset at what i was saying.
We left the doctors surgery with no advice really , but my little man is being referred to the hospital .
I would very much appreciate any help or advice !
Thanks kindly ,

Hi, it is very natural to be so emotional as we don`t want our children to have a different life to the one we dreamt of. My Sons are both diagnosed with ASC and I will be honest, I did go through a period of greiving as the goalposts had been moved so far apart. I have learnt to just worry about today not too far in the future. He will amaze you, he will acheive milestones for him and celebrate those. Accept life is neve going to be predictable and boring ever again! Having early intervention really does help and fight for everything you want for him because from my experience it is not eagerly offered. Lastly remember that you know him best as you live and breathe it so stick to what you want for him. Put the bad things behind you each day and always try to see the funny side of things in life as that will help you through.
Wishing you the best
