Hi,
New to the site but looking forward to meeting new friends and learning a lot.
My little girl is in the process of being assessed but the consultant says she is 90% sure she is autistic and 10% going towards learning difficulties.
I am still learning a lot about autism as such a broad subject. Just happy to have found this forum to read that I am not the only parent going through it.
Look forward to hearing from anyone.
Hi again . I have autistic adult son in supported living. He didn't speak till he was 5, then said a 6 word phrase. He understood short phrases/single words a long time prior to speaking. He had gd speech therapy at school. It was an autism specific school with small classes + a gd teacher/TA ratio : children in each class. Like any child, parents can see where their strengths lie. My son was practical + had a good sense of humour from an early age. He also enjoyed his food except for a few things he's never liked - I suppose like the rest of us in that respect.
