Hi I'm new here

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

  • We have a 4 yr old son & is final statement came through the post yesterday. Although be it Isaac as been attending a special needs nursery/school for his 12 week assesment he as come along in leaps & bounds. When he first started there he would not make eye contact, could hardly say a word & was just a very frustrated little boy. Bow he is actually saying clear words even though his sentences are  very mumbled & mixed up. When he wants something he does clearly state what it is that he requires, but he is still doing a lot of dragging as well. We have only had the diagnosis of ASD over the past   few weeks as everyone just kept on saying for the past 2 years that Isaac just had SLD. But as parents we knew that there was a lot more to Isaac than met those hr consultations. So now we are  finally relieved that we as a family have a clear goal to work towards.
