Saying hello

ginger_gnome

 

Hi,

I'm new here and wanted to see “Hello” … I'm new to forums and quite nervous but looking forward to getting to know some other folks in similar situations.

I've married to a lovely man and we have three gorgeous sons. My oldest son is 7 and has a dx of autism and ADHD. My middle is 5 and, although undiagnosed does show some autistic traits and has issues with social interaction (although this may be related to a trauma he suffered just before his 3rd birthday). My youngest is nearly 3 and doesn't show any autistic traits at present.

My two oldest boys are currently in a fantastic local mainstream school where they have, so far, been well supported. My oldest can now cope with being in the class-room fulltime … I'm so proud :-)

So, that's me.

  • Thank you for your reply Oatcakes ... waiting for a dx is hard isn't it.  Hope that you don't have much longer to wait and that your son gets all the support he needs.

    Thanks too for your understanding about my concerns over the trauma my son has suffered ... he was badly bitten and scratched by another child (he didn't know) his age in a soft play and now he really struggles to interact with children his age ... he's happy to play with his big brothers friends and all his imaginary friends are older.
