Hi,
My son is on the waiting list for an ASD assessment which came to light after some development reviews. we first went to seek help as my son wasn't self feeding, walked late at two and didnt talk until he was two and if it wasnt for the local childrens centre I am not sure we would be where we are now.
The word autism was last said to me last summer and fast forward a year and at the development assessment and they officially said they want him to be assessed. It wasa big step for my husband to attend the last development review but I needed him to hear what the paediatrician was going to say...Its an acceptance thing I suppose that things are different or quirky but my darling son is still my darling son.
I have had highs and lows and waves of emotion.
We did attend a meeting last week to sign up for the early birds and we are trying to stay positive but all i want to do is cry really.
Are other parents starting this journey?
Thanks
