Hi

julycw

Hi there ,

I have a son who will be 3 next week , i have finally made an appointment to take him to the GP to start the ball rolling in a diagnosis.

In my heart i already know that he is autistic , he has no speech , only noises , hates any change/strangers/unknown situations, with an ever increasing amount.

Iam a mother of 5 , he i smy youngest , and i guess i have known for a long time but i have been trying to protect him.

It breaks my heart to think he may never have the independance my other kids have.

Just wanted to say hello , and would welcome any help or advise.

  • Thanks for your kind words Skye. I feel very alone and worried for my boy , my heart is so very heavy with sadness , i feel i may suffocate. I love my boy so very much , and he seems even more special to me ! It is other peoples re-action to his odd behaviour and actions that make me feel that way.

    Even though we dont as of yet have a diagnosis , nobody needs to tell me what i already know , i look at him , and try to imagine how he must be feeling........ and iam at a loss most of the time .

    Any advice or even an idea of what yous had to go through in the diagnosis process would be very much welcomed , and may help me prepare.

    I really am dreading going to the GP , i dont think i will be able to hold myself together to explain all the things i should.

    Hugs and thanks , July xxxx
