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.

  • OH gawd! You handled that well...I will remember that for next time..good come back...nice one! 

    I've mentioned to another couple of school mum's about the possibility of my son having ASD..they didn't seem surprised (I know there have been mutterings in the playgound). To be fair they were really good about it and I am hopeful that if my son does come back with the asd dx some people around school will be prepared to explain to their kids to be more understanding.

    Just also wanted to pass on some info. I spoke to my local parent partnership team this week and they were brilliant. They are usually term time so are winding things up now till September but if you need extra support next term I would heartily recommend you speak to them.

    The useful thing she did over the phone was give me an idea of how things should work. So if that happens you need this in place etc...it really made it easier for me to know what I should be aiming for.

    I am so glad today is the last day at school.
