toddlers and preschool

luluandneil

Hi every one my boy is almost 2 and starts preschool soon, how ever at 18 months he changed dramatically from an average every day boy hitting all mile stones to a child thats lost most of his speech and language skills only says mamma dadda and now is so behind in everything he spends his days and nights spinning flapping  fidgiting and pasting up and down the room routinly along with many other special little ways. He is a complete diffrent child.How ever i  have gone threw the tears of dinal anger fustration and guilt  heart ache ect, kicked my self up the backside and faced up he is what he is lol think my tears have ran dry lol. But now its almost preschool time and im terrified of making the wrong decision he will need one on one and funding been applied for of his peaditrition, the local nursery has assured me the can support and look after his needs but my worry is how he will handle the situation he cant speak  or communicate he doesnt play or interact with other children at all, not good in large groups and is always in his little bubble last thing i want to do is cause him more stress and i cant see how this is going to be help .How ever i dont want to hold him back from having a normal child hood and i no that eventually he will need to go to school ect i really dont no what im suppose to do for the best

  • Hi all, my son is 2 and a half and has seen a ped. we are in the army so currently based overseas! We have been told to return to uk for facilities that are available there ie early bird! However I seem a bit confused over the how pre school subject am I right in thinking I just find a pre school for my son and they will get all the relevant people involved. Or do I look for a specific pre school my son was diagnosed with autistic traits. Please some1 point me on the right direction. Many thanks 

  • yeah maybe im just looking to far into negative things we are going threw the assesment aswell, i just feel i find it so hard to work out what he wants and needs how is a stranger going to do it hes like a baby all over again heart breaking isnt it when the dont eat or have any intrest in making freinds
