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

  • I know how frustrating it can all be, unfortunately it took me over 3 years to get Bounce dx, he is now 5 and starting to get some help gradually. Being the youngest of 7 and youngest of 5 with s/n (special needs) it was easy for me to identify somethink was up but having a paed who ignored everythink that was said and didnt acknowledge what was truly going on really did do my head in. After a bumby 20 months I contacted medical secretaries and after 15 calls I got a new paed and she is marvelous, she dx him the same day on his 1st appointment but it has been a struggle with school who have only just accepted his dx (which was made in June 2012).

    Its not always easy and I am still learning but we get there in the end :)

    Wish you all good luck with the assessment process.
