Hi everyone my son got diagnosed with asd about 3 months ago as you can imagine we was devastated, what makes things worse is I suffer with an Anxiety disorder myself and when the paediatrician said the word autism I went into melt down thinking the worse , so I would be grateful for any information regarding the best therapys etc we are willing to pay private if we have to , we have heard so many different things which would be the beSt way forward we are also looking to do the dairy gluten free diet for Harry s hehasbeey sensitive tummy , thanku all for your support :) X
I have just joined up to this forum, I have a 15 year old daughter diagnosed ASD at 11 and severe OCD at 9. I'm just at a very low point and feel like I need support, thought joining this might help. All I want is what's best for my daughter, I want her to have the best life she possibly can, but sometimes the constant fighting for it grinds me down - but as all us mums know, you can't give up and with a child to care for you can't crumble either. Life is very hard for my daughter with all her OCD contamination fears as well as the ASD issues. Year 11 is looming next week, no idea how she is going to survive it and no idea what lies beyond. It's all so scary and I know I should be 'mindful' and think about right now but I just feel sick with anxiety :(
