Hi I'm new here

Maricky

Hi im a single mum with a gorgeous 3 year old boy who  has ASD. He is the sweetest happiest little man i know and very loving. He will start mainstream pre school in october but with support and would love to hear from other parents on their experiences on pre school and whether the school offered adequate support.im confused as to whether my son would benefit more from a school dealing with autistic children only but i realise places for these are like gold dust but i worry that his window of learning is at its best between ages of 2 and 5 and i dont want him to miss out on this crucial time. Would also love to hear from parents of autistic children in general Smile

    Thanks for getting in touch.  My little man was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago but we have known he was autistic for about a year and half.  My childminder highlighted it to us as he wasnt reaching his milestones ie pointing waving etc.

    I also havent been told whether he is high or low functioning.i think they decide on this once he starts education and how he copes. He is such a happy loving kid and doesnt need routine and can be taken anywhere but he only babbles really and has his own little stims.

    What are you doing about pre school.i was told he could go to msinstream pre school with support but i want to look into integrated play schools too as the more help he gets at this age the better.
