jojo123

Hi

My names Jo and last friday my 5 year old son was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum . He has socio communication disorder but doesnt show many of the behavioural sides of autism eg he shows good eye contact , doesnt need strict routines, but does go through obsessions , his current one is dinosaurs. does anyone else have a similar child thats main problem is the speech language and understanding side of autism ? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated xx

  • Hi there

    My five year old daughter has been diagnosed with ASD since Feb and our speech therapist says it is mainly a socio communication disorder (plus we have learning difficulties too and a few other issues). She too is fine with eye contact and needs a certain amount of routine but can generally cope with the odd change. Yes we get obsessions too - currently Peppa Pig. She really struggles with making friends and identifying with other kids - she cannot talk to them or hold a conversation, or really understand what they are on about. She is fine with her younger brother and bosses him around no end! But doesn't really have conversations with him or us, just all echolalia.

    We just sounded similar to you so thought I would say hello!
