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.

  • Hiya Nat, thank you for your comments.  I too can relate to those feelings, theres anger, hatred, frustration, the list is endless.  The one thing I can say is that there are good days and bad days.  Make the most of the good days, enjoy them! The bad days are awful.  You just feel like running away! Please speak to a family member or close friend, cry, its a feeling of emotion that needs to come out and some times it feels better afterwards.

    My little boy is so happy.  He doesnt miss what we all take for granted because hes never known it.  Its us!
