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

  • Hi Cheryl,

    A year ago my daughter sounded very similar to your son, she is now 3 and will be 4 in July!  She is progressing each day and im still learning to deal with some of her ways, but her speech, communication and interaction has come on amazingly since having support! 

    Being a single mum myself ive experienced some lonely and difficult times, so i understand how you are feeling.  But try and stay positive. 

    Sounds like your son has alot of support planned for him, which is great! 

    My daughter is such a happy, loving little girl and i wouldn;t change her for the world, as im sure you feel the same with your son.  But it is tough sometimes Frown
