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 Nat, you say that your eldest goes to childrens centre which is great but have you tried to get your other son into a creche?  Ive just got my son into creche 2 afternoons a week.  This was recommended by an education pschyologist.  Although it breaks his heart when I leave, its a little bit of a break for me as I can spend a little time with my 2 girls.  Contact your health visitor and ask her advice.  If you are referred through social services it doesnt cost you anything.

    We took our kids to a country park today, and the 2 girls loved it, they played on everything, the wee man just wanted to stay at the slide so I spent my whole time there while my hubby took the others.  We also had a picnic, which he didnt eat anything at all, we played ball and ran around, he just sat in his pram (wasnt strapped in).  I said to my husband how heartbreaking it is just to watch him sit there.
