New face

Antrim

Hi Im new to this site and only discovered it while looking on you tube.  I have a beautiful boy who is 2yrs and 10mths.  He is currently being assessed ongoing.   He has speech and language impairment (no speech) and developmental delay.  Hes awaiting an MRI scan (1 yrs waiting list).  Basically I am waiting to be told he has Autism.  Its been almost a year now since his first assessment but its been the longest year of my life.  I have battled depression, guilt and even suicidal thoughts.  Just would like to hear some friendly faces and know that Im not alone.  Thanks for listening, I could go on for ages but think its nearly bedtime.

  • You are so, so not alone!  My son is 6 and has been diagnosed with ASD and we are now on waiting lists to finally get help.  It's been a hell of a time for me and my husband, guilt (what did I do wrong in pregnancy?)  Depression, fear for the future, anger at various people including school who just wrote him off as "naughty" and that evil feeling of being totally alone in all this.  We're both still working through all this but have good days too!  If you need a friendly ear, I'm here :)
