  • Hi mate.

    I am brand new to this and only tonight posted a new discussion titled 'accepting autism'.

    Reading your post upsets me because I know how you feel and it's a difficult thing to accept. My son is 3 and a half and diagnosis is imminent but we've had private therapies in place from a very young age so he's doing really well now. J thrives off of eye contact but a year or two ago did not want that connection. We, too, are a sociable family and are finding it difficult to go to shops especially but we have found one restaurant in particular, which he will react well too. I'm confident you will ftimes place similar for your daughter over time, too.
