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 rose,

    Yes it is difficult for siblings. My son gets on well with his older sister ( she tends to be more silly and he seems to respond to her well) but with his sister who is 1.5 yr older he doesn't get on as well which breaks my heart because she is such a kind sensitive soul. Hopefully things will improve As he gets older. Today we went shopping and for the first time he held her hand which meant alot to her. Sometimes really small things like this make a huge difference!

    I used to work in Glasgow and in crosshouse hosp in Kilmarnock. My Glasgow geography is bad now that I am living in England for 13 years

    My son tends to speak alot but hardly anything recognisable! He shocked me recently at the child development centre when he pointed to a number and said the appropriate number! So there is hope

    I am going to look at the special needs school on Tuesday so hopefully will get a good feeling about what is right for him
