New member, with a beautiful autistic Angel son.

I just wanted to say hello and hopefully make some new friends in the London area, of parents/ carers of other beautiful autistic Angels, of Primary school age. 
My friends are lovely and Angelo enjoys his play dates immensely, but, as other mums like me are aware and this was a real eye opener for me and my biggest struggle…the other mums, just don’t get it… They try, bless them, but I spent 8 years learning as my Angel grew, so when trying to explain a stimming moment, an inability to eat anything other than his own chosen foods at lunch,  a meltdown, sensory issues or just a need for space in 5 minutes to another mum… well, they  just don’t get it… I wish so much that they did!!
So, to have other friends for play dates, where the children are on the same wave length … or thereabouts and us mums just have a look,a smile,  to show there’s a minute needed, would be heaven :)
