Hi everyone I am a new member to this site, I am a 28 year old farther to zak who is 2 and autistic, ptoud to be his dad and cherish every little quirk he has. Yes he can be a handful but he makes up for that with a smile and a laugh, would not have him any other way as its the quirks that distinguish him fot the amazing person he is and will become. Look forward to sharing and hearing everyone elses experiences.
Jack arm flaps and rocks a lot in car and in buggy (when he is excited this happens) and always walks on tip toes. He hates brushing teeth as well and hair washing or cutting. Yeh jack is funny with food although not sure if it's feel or what as he is limited and it's all snack food. Won't eat nothing hot. He eats cheese, yogurts, crisps, dry cereal, chocolate, toast, crackers, biscuits, apples (sliced n peeled) that's all the fruit he will eat and no veg. He has been referred to a dietrician as he is extremely small for his age don't put much weight on and he gets belly aches quite often and sometimes sick and had funny poos! He has also started high pitched screeching which is literally so loud it can deafen you for a second he does this when he is excited as well and it can cause us to get remarks and people telling us to keep him quiet and all sorts!! They recon he is trying to express himself and until he speaks he might not stop. It can b so hard sometimes with our special children.
