Hello

Hi there, new to this site, my name is rosemary and I have two sons 5 and 3. My three year old has been diagnosed with autism in January this year. He is non verbal, but such a lovely happy wee boy, he has many meltdowns which I struggle with, very frustrating .. for him as well !! My eldest is now going to be assessed as he is showing some traits too, although he is developing well. Looking forward to reading and taking help for everybody's comments.

  • Hi Rose

    my son was diagnosed as autistic recently. It has come as a shock as his 2 older sisters are ' normal'. He is so funny and a really sweet boy , occasionally will say the appropriate thing but it is very much on his terms. Hoping that he will chat soon.....

    your son must be going to school in September like my son. I must admit I am anxious about it and don't know how he will cope especially as he says so little. I am looking around the special needs school for autism but don't know what to think. Part of me realises that perhaps it is better for him (smaller classes and more dedicated 1-1 time) and the other half of me thinks it will accepting 'less of him' than his sisters. Oh wish me luck!

    let me know how you get on with our other son
