  • hi mama street....thank you very much for all your advice,thats very kind of you.we had the autism teacher come round the other day to observe jayden and she said she can see that he does have it,think his is more social and communication and his speech is still very slow,but she is going to come round once a week to help out,and he will be having help at the nursery aswell.His eating is really bad at the moment so am hoping to get help with that aswell.Do your 2 little ones have it mild?i have a 1 year old and am just wandering if he will get it aswell as he copies jayden quite a bit.its nice to have some one to talk too about it as i dont really know any other parents whos children have autism.when i say to my friends and family that he has autism they all say there is nothing wrong with him.....thanks again for the advice xxxx
