Newly diagnosed.

i24dreamer

Well I guess it's hello to all.

I am a totally deaf mum to 2 children, a son with aspergers diagnosed at 8 years old and a daughter with cfs diagnosed age 11. Both home schooled.

I have multiple health problems and recently diagnosed with ASD at 50 years of age!

My husband works part time and is a carer for all three of us. Anyone else in a similar position?

Regards to all

  • Because I know of examples of disabilities running in families though it can be isolating I'm sure others can relate, still a unique situation and set up, I'm still absorbing all that you've said. I'm at least glad that despite the uphill climb you managed to hang in there and recieve the support you needed. It's so easy for ASD traits to be missed and dismissed and many become despondant and give up altogether. I'm still thinking with everyone having such unique needs in your household how on earth does everyone adapt to one another, I feel balmy when the cat so much as wants to play *now* right *now* let alone when he has more complicated demands.
