  • Hi again

    Skye, you have some fantastic resources there to help your daughter - her older brother and sister!!

    Jack has an older brother (he's 14) and he plays with Jack and 'play fights' daily - Jack, who was totally bewildered by it all now looks forward to seeing Ryan when he comes home from school and giggles at being put in a 'headlock' and tickled - he's also started to 'fight' back which is brilliant to watch - as you can imagine.

    I'm constantly researching different aspects of autism and find it all totally fascinating - it helps if you have someone, in the same boat to discuss issues with of course - and not necessarily a partner or family - another parent who understands exactly what you're going through. Have you joined any support groups in your area? Your Portage Worked should be a fab source of info for help and support for you all. Home visits are great - we had those too and they were SO valuable to us.
