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 Lyn,

    Thankyou for coming back to me. I'm very happy to report that i'm having a very good week so far as my husband is off with me. Its so lovely to be able to take the boys out with him and enjoy the change of environment with them.

    I've recently been in contact with the health visitor who is applying for my youngest for some childcare which would be available from when he is 2 years. Unfornately this is dependant on funding so I just have to keep my fingers crossed.

    I'm really sorry to hear how unresponsive your son was on your trip to the country park. I find it so upsetting when my boys are that world of their own. My eldest son is only just starting to give us those first little wonderful moments of interaction, it is so lovely to sometimes be allowed to join in his world. Those times are very special and worth waiting for. I really hope it won't be long before your son is able to do the same.

    Best wishes with everything in the future. Nat
