My 2 year old has Just been Diagnosed

LoughtonChef

Hi Everyone,

My gorgeous 2 year old boy has just been diagnosed with being in the autism spectrum.

My wife and I are a little lost as where to start with help and how to get this fast? He is behind from about 12-18 months. Does not speak any words and does not babble. He has a short attention span when it comes to trying to teach him the fundimental basics like drawing a line (instead of eating the crayon Smile ) and putting shapes into the corresponding holes etc. Eats everything lol.

I have read there are many types of therapies and would like to look into these to get him started. It's just which ones and where can i find info on them?

We live in Loughton so any support from you guys would be so so helpfull if you could spare a moment.

Thanks Folks

Kind Regards

  • Hi Loughton chef! 

    You really are not alone! My boy is 2.5yeara been diagnosed with autism yesterday! 

    Its very hard to know what to do for the best! I noticed my boy changed about 18months he had words and then stopped suddenly - he rockled from a very young age and to tho day continues to rock and flap - more apparent as he gets older. 

    We we have one to one support  3 times a week - (free)  from the home bridging team in Ilford  - I'm in redbridge so I don't know if  they would be able to help you. My boy has full support now in a mainstream nursery, which really has helped. 

    Your ur speach therapist will be able to help you also - they gave us great techniques to help him at home - in order to communicate, really help with eye contact, giving options, - my boy in a few months can understand simple instructions through simple hand commands and tones from my voice. 

    i really home the home bridging team can help you! They really are amazing or at least they can maybe put you on touch with something similar within Loughton borough. 

    Good luck!
