2 yr old getting autism assessment

beautifulboy2

hi there. im new and in need of any advice! not sure what im looking for and my head is full of Qs! ive struggled with my son since he started moving and hes now 28 months. i also have a boy of nearly 4. finally im getting help and people are listening to me. i used to question myself...is it that im tired? maybe i just cant cope with 2 toddlers?is he really this difficult to handle or is it just me? well i now know its not me. wish it was, but at the same time im relieved and i can get him help sooner rather than later. anyone going through the same as me with similar aged child?xSmile

  • hi,

    i have 2 boys age 3 and 4. one diagnosed one under assessment. i completley understand how difficult it is having 2 toddlers, the word which most springs to mind is exhausting! i sometimes find it difficult to do normal things like go food shopping, everything has to be planned. to be honest another set of eyes ears and arms would come in handy.

    i also have 2 older daughters 1 diagnosed, 1 under assessment. my daughter was diagnosed 6 years ago, so i knew the signs with the boys and i didnt stress so much about the worry of whether it was just me, and whether i couldnt cope as i did when my daughter was younger. but i understand how you beat yourself up, and the relief when you find out it wasnt just you.

    its really good that you are getting some help, and that your sons difficulties are aknowledged, hopefully you can both get the support you need
