Hello

Rose ross

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 

    Ross has another year of nursery before he starts school next aug 15, I have alkready been looking around different special needs schools. i dont think its fair putting hiom through main stream, In Girvan(south west scotland)  where i live there is a special needs school. it looks great, its very small, only @20 pupils with different needs. but he will be in a class of four so will get plenty of help and they do so much for the kidz, swimming, horse riding, football etc. plus if he enjoys a particular subject ie art or something someone will go with him to the primary or secondary school and join in mainstream. it is so difficult to know what the best for your child. especially when you are trying to get your head around the diagnosis etc. Hope you find a school mainstream or special needs that suits your family too. its very difficult with the siblings as well, my oldest is quite upset at the moment because Ross isnt talking.. very hard for them.
