struggling to come to terms

hey everyone i am new to this so please bare with me :),

me and my lil boy was at the health visitor today discussing lucas and his traits such as

  • lines up cars tantrums if the line is broken
  • lies down and roles the car watching the wheels
  • majorly fussy eater and if it something he doesnt want have to give him warning a few hours before he gets it for him to eat it or he will just refuse to eat it 
  • always tripping up when walking 
  • not a great liker of water
  • if i ask him to go and do something he will wont do it and play with his car
  • if we go out need to give him notice before hand cant be spare of the moment thing and when were out a car has to come with him
  • talking to him he will look elsewhere
  • also when broken out of routine he chucks a major tantrum kicking screaming hitting

the health visitor never actually it was autism but she has aranged the the speach and language therapist to meet lucas, has anyone else had this situation

  • my son was also three weeks early and was late at walking 18 months before he started health visitor asked me this and she said that is normal but i didnt think so, reading your story made me realise he use to always take is iggle piggle everywhere when he was a baby then it went onto a steering wheel from the wii and now its a car has to, my little boy thing is cars i feel like it soothes him, he is at nursery and before i started i think i told him everyday for three months before he started he going to nursery to get him use to the idea and on his first day he had to have a car with him and go down the chute before he leaves which he does now everytime before he if not he gets upset loud and violent

    with eating lucas is cheerios for breakfast toast for dinner and sausages for tea

    when he was younger if he got angry he use to try and hit his head of the floor and if i tried to stop him he wouldnt give up untill he did it not its turn to just hitting

    ive never thought my little boy would have autism or if it even is this because health visitor hasnt suggested this or he hasnt been diagnosed yet but my head is really just a mess with it now and hopefully havent got to wait long on the speach and language therapist visit happens

    thansk for sharing your story it helps :) xx
