New face

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.

  • Hiya Angela, good news since last post.  Patric had his MRI scan on Thursday 28/04, got a call from hospital, they had a cancellation.  Great to get that over with.  Now waiting for the results is next issue.  I know Autism cannot be detected through an MRI but it will show if anythings wrong (fingers crossed there isn't).  Got Statement application process for school to go through aswell, hes been assessed by Education Pschy but this now has to go to SENCO.  Any advice with that?

    Im so glad to hear that you are finally getting the help you need.  Keep strong.
