About us

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 :)

    Thank you very much for your reply. the information you have provided me with is very useful. I find he particularly has a meltdown in the presence of other people weather that's in a supermarket, at a playgroup or people coming to the house he just seems to cry and get himself into such a state.

    yes we can completely relate to what you said about his mind being active but him being closed off from the rest of the world. He seems to just go into a daze and we find it very difficult to get his attention. 

    Thank you so much for your advice I really appreciate it. 

    I can imagine it's quite difficult for you being diagnosed so late in life. I'm glad to hear that you are learning a lot about ASD and I hope it's making things easier for you.
