Hi all,

I just want to quickly introduce myself. I am a 32 year old mum to 3 year old twins - a boy and a girl. My son Jake is currently awaiting an official dignosis although it has been strongly suggested to us by his Paediatrician and speech therapist that he does have an ASD. Everything is so overwhelming for us at the moment, we don't have many close friends locally and we live between 80 and 200 miles from both our families. Therefore we have very little support and I was hoping that by joining this forum, I may be able to meet people who understand what we are going through, and hopefully make some friends along the way Smile

  • Hi Emma,  

    My son is also 3 and he is diagnosed. Didn't enjoy the process but diagnosis gives access to support which has been brilliant for us.  Can't be easy with twins.  Hope you can find some virtual support here. Perhaps it's worth contacting local groups to find other parents you can meet up with in person? Doesn't have to be autism specific if you can't find it. My boss has a child with a different disability and it's so nice to have someone around who just understands.
