  • Thankyou for your thoughts. I have always known something was wrong with my son. this is going to sound shocking but I was investigated as neglecting him for a year as no one would accept my notion that he was startved of oxygen at birth and I was sure he had autism. Anyways a few years later aged 6 and we were given the diagnosis that yes it was autism causing him to act like he was not neglect, but as a self forfilling prophecy I still wonder if its something I have done. He has severe autism which I believe is called low functioning? He has serious communication problems, his social awareness is nill and his obsessions are off the scale. He hs been held back a year at school but they are struggling to cope with his reactions ie to change in seating possitions. He can not join in normal activites and I feel so sorry for him, other times I wonder how the hell I am going to do this evey day of my life. As im sure you all know, he can not display any affection or even look at me, yet he becomes obssessed with anyone who mentions his obsession of BATMAN. there is a man in a flat next to us who im pretty sure is grooming my son (asked him to call him uncle steve...we donrt even know him' invites him in to play batman and gave him sweets in the shape of penis') i have told police etc but nothing they will or can do. It just shows how vunerable children with autism are.
