2.5 year old daughter with asd rossendale

ccollier

Hi, I've got a 2.5 year old daughter with asd. We are still coming to terms with the diagnosis and finding it very difficult to find any other parents with children as young as our daughter with asd. If there's anyone out there please get in touch. I feel to have the support and friendship of parents that understand would be invaluable for both ourselves and our daughter. 

I'm also finding it difficult to find autism specific activities that my daughter can join in. All groups seem to run from 4 years old. If anyone is aware of anything in the rossendale area I'd be interested to know. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Hi H,

    Do you live in Rossendale? We don't have a confirmed diagnosis but we are quite a way on in the assessment process and some of the professionals we are involved with have referred to my daughter as autistic several times. I'm not sure they are aware that we haven't yet got a firm diagnosis.  We knew from 18 months things weren't right but still a year later I still struggle to come to terms with it.

    I have a very supportive family but its getting hard to go out with friends because their children, who are a similar age to my daughter, are noticing that she's different and making comments such as "why doesn't she talk". It breaks my heart, so that's why I posted to make new friendships with parents that understand. 

    Has your GP referred you on for further assessments?
