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

  • We're getting pretty good support: SLT, input from a consultant paediatrician, fairly comprehensive statement for school, DLA, Carer's Allowance, positive and helpful attitide from (mainstream) school, local support group...

    "Respite care".  Yeah, that'd be nice - we have no family nearby to help, but then it's our child, so that's kind of the deal!  Others have more need for help, I suspect...

    It's all about a) funding and b) how effectively you can articulate the help your child needs and ask for it.  It's incredibly unfair, and will only get worse as the cuts really bite.
