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, 

    Right where do I start? :-/ 

    Walking on tip toes, sleep pattern, fussy eating, screaming round shops, hates having his hair cut, night terrors, sensitivity to nappy changes, not liking to be wrapped in a towel to dry, non verbal, unresponsive to name, doesn't listen to instructions, unaware of dangers, loves to be thrown around, hates being cuddled if hurt, runs around in circles, hates to be in groups, prefers to play on his own, jerky movements with hands, arms and legs, funny noises with his mouth...

    I have a feeling I've missed a few things, But a few people spoke to me about Autism and when I looked into it I found more and more things that Ollie does in the list of symptoms. Which is why I went to my doctor with a list of everything Ollie does and she kept the list and referred him straight away. She said it's highly likely that Ollie is Autistic but we just need a diagnosis so I can get help. 

    Someone mentioned respite care?? The thought of handing my boy over to someone else to deal with it all scares me and upsets me.. I tend to have Ollie all the time and frankly I'm exhausted! mentally, physically and emotionally :'(
