Hi I'm new to the forum, I have a 2 year old son who is currently on the waiting list for autism diagnosis. He's far behind in his development and isn't talking or interacting at all. Our health visitor came out to see us a few weeks ago and she informed us she thinks its possible for him to be autistic as he is showing a lot of autistic traits.
Myself and my husband don't know very much about autism and are feeling a little lost at the moment.
We don't know where to begin with learning about autism or helping our son. We feel very helpless at the moment and unsure of what we can do to help him.
is there anyone here who has been in a similar situation if so could you please get in contact with us we could really do with some advice.
thanks everyone :)
Hi, I just wanted to say that I too am autistic, and didn't speak until I was 4 or 5. I am not the person you really wanted to talk to, but I wanted to respond to your note.
I'm sure that another parent will see this later and respond to you.
But welcome. And remember your litlle one is himself, you don't really want him to be anyone else, as he is yours.
Please take care,
Margaret
