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

  • No Isaac does not attend a mainstream school, he goes to a special needs nursery. But in September he is moving over to a brand new Acadamy that is linked up with his special needs school by the means of security doors. But the children from the acadamy Can not access the special needs part of the school without a secure pass. But the children from Isaacs part of the school can access the mainstream acadamy but only with the parents & the childs joint permission.

    As for the mixing with his peers part of the question then i would say no, he tolerates them being near to him but very rarely interacts with them. He finds it difficult to interact with his siblings bless him.

    Yes i totally agree with the diagnosis being a relief as it gives you more of a clear path to head down & the correct resources to start researching. Isaac as only been diagnosed over the past few weeks with ASD as they kept on saying that he as SLD. But as parents we knew what it was but was just waiting to hear them words as a final diagnosis. It is now a very long & eventful path that lays ahead of us with lots of ups & downs but plenty of joy!!!! Brett
