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.

  • Basically portage work to whatever targets you want to achieve.  So for us its things like trying to get my daughter to focus on playing with a toy for a few minutes because her attention is so poor. They've also been teaching her how to say "I want.... " because her language is poor and she can't tell us basic stuff likes she's thirsty or hungry. If you speak to your local council they'll send you a referral form which is really short, not time consuming.

    I found out I was pregnant just when we discover my first daughter had difficulties.  Had I have known sooner I wouldn't have had another child. Not because I don't love my first just because I wish I had more time to spend with her to help her develop. It's also really sad to watch her totally ignore her baby sister,  I hope in time this will change. I worry that my new daughter will also be affected by autism so that's taking some of the enjoyment out of it at the mo.
