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.

  • Ahh soft play!!!!.the bain of my life..so many times I have removed my anxious overwrought child from these places..I now avoid them like the plague.

    If ever there was a place designed to wind the most placid kid into a frenzy it's these places. Even giving my kid adrenaline is more calming than leaving him to run round a pub with soft play on a  Sunday afternoon.

    I have neurological issues myself (non ASD) most days and the noise level makes me nearly fall over with pain..I cannont imagine what it does to a child with sensory issues!

    OK rant over..just nice to know I will probably not be alone in feeling this way about those places...nice not to be the only one who can feel this way.

    Your poor little one you must be pretty traumatised yourself by that.
