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

  • Hi 

    I'm new on here. I have a beautiful boy, who will be 3 in June and have just got ASD diagnosis this week. Although I have known since he was about 15 months.

    I just read a thread on here from a couple of new ladies who have little boys the same age as me and recent diagnosis. It would be great to chat to you and the more experiencied mummy's and daddy's too.

    So much of what i have just read is my son all over. He doesn't talk at all, just babbles. Sometimes i think he has said a word and then he'll never say it again. It seems like he says Mummy when he's upset but i'm still not sure on this.

    He does not respond to anything i ask him to get. He takes me to things he wants. We've had a realy tough weekend this weekend as he is just sreaming everytime i go out the room as he wants me to do his jigsaw for him or sit and watch whilst he plays. I think he finds it hard as i'm a single mum and when he's with other carers there is often more than one person to attend to his needs. But he is the most gorgeous and happy little boy generally. Just like the other ladies said he responds to high fives, the word kiss and no but not much else.

    He's been at a mainstream nursery since september and special needs nursery since December. He's much better since attending these and both are really helping him. He is currently using PECS and i am visiting his special needs nursery this week to learn this myself and how i can use it to communicate with him - so i just can't wait for that.

    It would be lovely to chat to people in a similar position. I've felt so lonely this weekend and just spent half an hour in tears as its been so hard - so i thought i'd pull myself together and come on here to get some support and hopefully help support others

    Thanks
