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.

  • Glad I made a few of you  smile .. I must admit my sense of humour has got me through a lot . Especially when my little runner escapes from the trolley in asda and i sprint away after him and can only catch him due the fact my husband will block off the aisles as he runs down them ..trainers have now become my best footwear .. but the stares we get are classic " i know what i would do if he was mine "..people will never understand until it happens to them ..but he brings so much laughter and humour to or home with the eccentric things he does . He is the youngest of 5 and the rest of the kids absolutely adore him even when he ruins everything in their room .

    Keep smiling
