Saying hello

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.

  • Thanks for your replies Catherine & Catherine.  It's lovely to realise that other folks are in similar situations and understand.

    It is really hard to cope some days especially when folks (trying to be kind I think) make comments about how my boys don't "seem" autistic!  It's an easy comment to make when you only see them now & again :-(

    Really appreciate you all taking time to get back to me.  Looking forward to getting to know you all.
