HELLO i am christine i have 4 grown up children & 2 grandchildren.
One of our grandchildren alex aged 10 as just been diagnosed with autism.
our grandson & i have a very special bond as my daughter had a bad time & i held him for the first hour.
We have known for a long time alex had a problem but nobody would listen to our daughter but gradually we got there.
he his very loving, hurtful but we know he does not mean it. our granddaughter is fine no problems there. i do wonder if some of it could be inherited as we have problems with most of our children hope to chat with other people & maybe get some advice
