Hi,

I'm mum to three lovely kids aged 14, 6 1/2 and just 4. Within the last week, we've had tentative diagnoses of Asperger's for my eldest (a girl), Attachment Difficulty for my youngest (a boy), and "well, he's on the spectrum, definitely" for the middle one (also a boy).

My OH and I are finding the process quite daunting, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of communication from the NHS to us so far, but it's early days and I'm trying to be positive.

Nice to find somewhere to chat with people in a similar situation. See you around the place :)

  • Hi KieraBee, welcome. Can I ask, are you or your OH on the spectrum also, because probability of having three children within the autism spectrum,, would indicate a high possibility.

    Sorry, my curious and logical nature asks the question. My father was on the spectrum so with the genetic tie up autism factor,, you would assume that you or your OH has autism also.

    Hope you don't mind me asking ? .
