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

  • hello nicky,

    my son has a few things same as yours, with telly he also can come upset and confused at times. he also laughs to himself without anything happening? my son can now talk but he often uses it out of context or know the meaning of what he is saying. i.e will shout out help me help when i put him in the trolley and i have people look at me and i say its ok he's mine lol

    and where he can talk people automaictally think he understands but he doesnt, if my son becomes upset and cant tell me he will try and take me to it or he also trys to show me with pictures we have got him a ipad and it really helps him, they have loads of apps on there to help kids with autism, he has also picked up signalong so if he wants a drink he willl sign drink.

    with regards to potty training i havent got a clue lol his still in pull ups and have tried but he doesnt understand and i have been told it will happen when his ready and not to push him. this is normal for children with ASD. not heard of PECS OR TEACHH.  think there are all different things in different areas. :)
