Christmas

Bright eyes

Hi! My Son has just turned 4 and was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2.4yrs. He has very limited speech but loves the company of other children. I find Christmas quite hard as he won't open presents and doesn't really understand anything about the day. I see all of his cousins getting excited, hanging up their stockings and talking about Father Christmas and sometimes this makes me feel sad that my son doesn't have the same magical feelings as they do. I was wondering how everyone else finds Christmas and what you do to make it special for your child?

  • Hi Tiredeyes, I have a Christmas sack, so I think I will do what you have done and put presents in there, unwrapped, and see if he will get them out, thanks for the idea! my son loves anything musical with buttons that he press, this is normally repeated over and over!! He will love having his cousins around so that will be special enough for him :-)
