Hello! Im new!!

Sues

Hello Everyone,

 

Ive just discovered this chat site so thought id post!!

Ive got a nearly 5 year old daughter who does not have any special needs. She starts 'Big School' next month - scary!!

Ive for a nearly 3 year old son who was diagnosed with Austism on 28th Feb this year. He is starting at a special school in their nursery in September too.

Plus, Im pregnant with bubs no3 - due in January!

So, lots going on for me at the moment!! Have been reading through some of the posts on here and its so nice to be in contact with so many people in a similar situation with me and learning to live life with Autism in it! I love my son to bits and would not change him for the world.

A quick question for everyone - my son grinds his teeth really badly. Is this an Autistic trait? Hi Peaditrician did ask me at our last appointment is he did this, but i didnt think to ask her! It has got really bad recently and he is doing it increasingly. Not only does it sound awful, but im worried that it might be damaging his teeth! Does anyone have any tips on how to stop/reduce him doing it?

Thanks!!

  • Hi

    Just been reading through peoples comments, my seven year old son was diagnosed with Aspberger Syndrome on Friday so I am just trying to find out more about it and find some people who have heard of it and understand!  I think my five year old daughter has it too but trying to even get her assessed is proving impossible.  I have now been put on a Parenting Course because I have asked for help with her behaviour.  I did the same course, voluntarily, when she was two years old... just feel that nobody is listening...

      Anyway... grinding the teeth struck a chord with me, the children don't do it but I have been through all sorts with ENT, physio, dentist, for months to be told apparently I grind my teeth and have never been aware of it before... I am to be issued with a bite guard on Wednesday! I don't have ASD but it seems suddenly all this stuff I know nothing about is being thrown at me, it was just nice to find a place where it was all mentioned in one place!
