hi my little boy who is 2 years this month has global delay and is thought to be asd just had bloods which include genetics and have to go back end of march, the reason he has been picked up so early is because i am a health visitor and also had a heart attack when i was 19 weeks pregnant with him therefore i have been watching him under a microscope due to the heart attack.

eventhough i knew he was displaying the ingredients for autism i was very upset when the paedritician told me that he does appear to have some autistic tendancies and will now be put on the SCAP.

i have good and bad days and my little boy has good and bad days, my little boy loves opening and shutting doors it can be any door but will continuously open and shut and if i try to take him away he has a melt down he also has a thing for switching sockets on and off just wondered if anyone else has had this experience.

i worry about the future but at the moment i have a lot of support around me and trying to take one day at the time.

thanks

  • Hi - it's not uncommon for our children to have repetetive behaviour such as opening + shutting doors, switching things on + off.  Unless if causes serious problems I'd let him do it.  My son had a thing about automatic doors when he was that age.  He still now + then switches sockets off because he is fire conscious.  I think you'll find loads of tales of woe about the dwp/dla + other benefits.  I would appeal the decision if you haven't done so + also get any supporting letters you need to send off to them.  It's great you've got good support + that your son is getting diagnosed at a young age.  This site is full of useful info via the home pg + the posts so it's a good resource and also people understand.  Let us know how things go + come back on whenever you wantSmile
