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.

  • It is exhausting. I'm on maternity leave at the moment so I'm looking after my daughter much more than when I'm at work and it's made me realise how much she doesn't follow instructions etc. It's also allowed me more time to take her to places such a soft play centres but seeing her amongst other children her age makes her differences stand out a mile. Don't wait for a diagnosis or you'll wear yourself out. I have found the Portage service which is run nationally by local councils fantastic. You don't need a diagnosis and you can self refer. They are a great support and a key into getting other support aswell. I'd highly reccommend getting in touch with them. They come to our house once a week and play with my daughter working on targets such as turn taking and attention.
