  • Hi, I read your message and can so relate to it, my little girl who has just turned 2 is being diagnosed at the moment, just waiting for appointments to come through!.

    I have family and friends that are very supportive and listen but my partner's family are the opposite and say she will be fine, she will grow out of it and it is the terrible twos!. My daughter is non verbal at the moment and get told all the time by them she will when she is ready!. She also suffers in social situations and they just say she is naughty!. I am hoping once the appointments come through they will understand. My rant overSmile.

    I have been very suprised how much support is out there for Autistic children and so happy that my little girl can attend a special nursery and school when she is ready. I think we are all on a wonderful roller coaster with our children, learning everyday.
