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.

  • Hi Oatie , 

    Its good to let off steam to someone who is experiencing the same as our family ..I completely agree that you have to make nuisance of yourself ..our gp told us we had a long uphill struggle ..but our local social work dep have helped quite a bit and have arranged quite a few things for us ..so we are waiting for things to start happening with them too ..but I must admit the twins are due to start school in a few weeks time and I dont know if my wee one is going to cope as they havent been too helpful so far in fact he hasnt even spoke to his teacher yet ..but as long as he has his twin who is his support network he should cope the best he can..
