Starting the journey

SproutsMa

Hi all.  I have a beautiful little boy aged 2 yrs 4 months who is showing strong red flags for autism.  We already started with the SLT and have a pediatrician appt next week.  Health Visitor is next to useless.

Trying so hard to be positive for him but failing miserably.  Really keen to speak to some other parents who can help me understand what to expect, set my expectations and do right by my son.

Thanks.

    he had big sensory issues. Smells mainly- they'd make him sick. We'd be invited to kids tea parties and he would throw up almost as soon as we walked in!!! He wouldn't verbalise emotional things. Wouldn't tell you about being bullied until the child in question really hurt him. Didn't like new places. Loud noises would freak him out- fire alarms, any sudden noise was worst. He could list car names and footballers names and numbers. 

    He didn't mix well with other kids- didn't get invited to play out an had no desire to join in. Certain foods/textures also caused sickness. 

    is there anything specific you want to ask?  X
