Hi all
i’m not really sure where to start with this, my son is 3 in 3 weeks and is still not talking. He has some words however very rarely uses this and needs to be encouraged to do this. He won’t just talk without you asking him to, he rarely plays with any toys and is really hard to keep entertained and to get him to focus. We seem to be on the path to an autism diagnosis and I’m just not sure how to cope with this, all the questions. Will he ever talk? Will he be able to live a normal life? Will he go to school and have friends. I never imagined this path when becoming a father and I’m just not sure how to cope with it all, sometimes I feel ok and think I can get through this with him and other times of jealous of other parents for what they have! I’d do anything to be able to have a conversation with my boy, share some interests and be able to do things together. Do I sound selfish? I’m just so scared of our future and what it holds I feel we should have everything to look forward to but that’s now robbed of us and I’m scared of what the future holds, sometimes I’m not sure how to carry on.
