Hi everyone,
We thought we'd create a discussion where people can say hello and introduce themselves.
You don't have to say something here but it'd be nice to get a chance to say hello
Please remember that you should not share personal details (such as emails or phone numbers) to protect your privacy.
And don't feel you have to introduce yourself, it's entirely up to you and please only share what you're comfortable with.
Hi
My name is Anita and I have an almost 5 year old son with autism (we've recently been told he's in the middle of the spectrum - ish!!!)
Sean was diagnosed at 2 & 1/2 after stopping speaking overnight (there were earlier signs but as a first time mum I had no benchmarks!) and being referred to SALT. His language is delayed but improving, he is in nappies full time, needs melatonin to sleep, has a very restricted diet, he's very rigid in his behaviour and displays challenging behaviour quite often!! But he is my little angel x x
I also have a 2 year old daughter who so far is showing no signs.
