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.

  • Hi, thank you for your reply.  The hardest parts for me I think are lack of support and what the future will hold.  I live from day to day and find some days unbearable (like today).  Every channel that I have tried to follow up leads to me being on a waiting list. Im on waiting lists for everything and sometimes you need that something instantly.  Just dont know where to turn too.  If Im honest its driving a barrier throught my marriage.  My son doesnt talk, he has had 4 words but they have gone again.  He just makes noises, squeals and screams.

    Tell me a little about your little boy.  Does he talk?  Has he delays in other areas?  What help have you had? What help is available to you and son?

    Thanks again
