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, I hope they can give you some useful support.

    I can imagine the lack of speech is very hard as a mum. We are lucky my daughter has a lot of words and says many complicaed sentences but its all repeated from books or songs, she doesn't have any spontaneous speech. People keep telling me it's a good starting point though. Her main issues are social. When we go anywhere where there are other children she completely shuts down. Her auntie who she sees every week has nevet heard her speak, but ay home she chatters none stop. At nursery she is very isolated and does not mix in the group at all. 

    I think asd is so difficult to cone to terms with as a parent because you are so uncertain of the future. I don't know any other medical conditions where the outcome has such huge variations.  I think we tend to expect the worse, when I guess we should just be enjoying the present.
