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

    yea we was also expecting the asd results, my mum always said he was showing autism since he was around 5 months old, but i only really thought the same around 18 months,

    its nice to now know that we where all right, my son needs constanted routine on every day to day things and he finds it really hard when the simple things change, his finding it hard at the minute being half term and that we are not taking his older sister to school.

    going out is a big issues for us so we rearly go out on family fun stuff, my son becomes very upset, we oftern have to resort to things like going quite places like the woods which he loves. (not alot of people there). shopping is another big issue and  that we do it very in and out fashion lol

    my son is  going to pre school at the min 2 times a weeks only half a day tho, but he does enjoyed it, he gets one to one but i find he doesnt mingle with the other kids at all, so we are looking into speacial needs school as a options he wouldnt start school till next september so regarding on how he gets on in pre school we are just taking each day as it comes.

    how about you? are you concidering both? nic :)
