Hi

I am at the beginning of my journey as my 3 year old son was diagnosed last October.  I am still coming to terms with his diagnosis even though I already knew it.  I'm so pleased that I can come on here to talk to people who understand what it is like having an autisitic child.

  • Hi Jade,

    I can only echo what Crystal has said, and I'm sure we remember enough from those early days to help you with any issues that come up.

    When my son was first diagnosed aged two with 'autistic tendencies' I remember having an awful dream where he had died and I woke up sobbing. I realised it was because I had 'lost' the son I thought I had so at least on a subconscious level I must have been devestated, even if on the surface I seemed cool with it. He's 21 now and it's been hard, but he's the most important person in my life and all the more special because of it. We have a much closer relationship than I do with his older brothers.
