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.

    So new here I only created my profile 5 minutes ago... so hoping I am posting this in the right place...

    Ccollier - I could have written your initial post. I have 2yr8month twins. My son was diagnosed last weekend. I knew something was wrong and got soooo frustrated by the slow wheels of the NHS that we paid for a private diagnosis in the hope that people would finally sit up and take notice. The private Dr said that he wouldn't even be able to put our son in the mild-moderate ballpark with ASD, that his symptoms were marked and wide-ranging. Everything I read says early intervention... but I have been fighting so long to get anything from anyone and have been turned away so many times... even told that '4 years is early intervention'. So what do they expect us to do for the next year and a half.... sit and watch our children struggle on an hour to hour basis. 

    Finding resources that I don't have to pay a fortune for has been a fruitless search. Do let us know if you find anything!
