My 1 year old son will be 2 very soon and I’ve thought for a long while that he’s autistic. My gut instinct tells me he is. He is showing a lot of the signs such as poor eye contact, non verbal and his understanding is certainly not there. He is very cuddly, he doesn’t struggle with change in routine and doesn’t seem to have sensory issues.
He’a a very chilled calm toddler and a little joy. I adore him. The health visitor has concerns too and he has been referred to professionals for support.
I’m just finding it really hard watching other children the same age (my friends who we all had babies together and online) develop and start talking. It breaks my heart every time and I feel lonely in it.
I’m so worried about the future, unsure if he will ever talk or whether he will live independently. Would be lovely to hear from anyone who’s felt this way as I feel on my own. X
