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.

  • I know SHirley..it's is the same here..I feel like I will implode some days. You get to feel a bit like a ping pong ball being battered to and from professionals.

    Glad you have the partnership people on board..they are just the people we need to help us through the jargon and reports.

    I think for me one of the hardest things is that whilst we wait for all these mechanisms to kick in our little lad is struggling on the best he can. So that makes me worry about how his view on the world will be coloured by the time people start to take notice and do stuff to help him...sigh.

    Sorry I am tired today..both my boys were over wrought when they got home..there were children crying at school cause it's their last day before senior school..hormones could be plucked form the air and they felt the fall out of all these emotions..so it's been a hard few hours after school.

    I have a nice day planned for tomorrow to help them (and me) wind down.

    Oh an Ed Psychologist spoke to me off the record today ..part of the advice she gave me was 'make a nuisance of yourself and don't give up'... ..that's my mantra from now on I think!

    Keep posting your helping my sanity.
