Hi,
I’m really struggling at the moment my 3 year old son is waiting for an autism diagnosis will be at least another year I imagine I don’t feel like he’s progressing in anyway and it’s so hard to get him to engage in anything. He is constantly chewing or throwing things can’t get him to do anything else he has a chew buddy try and do a crunchy diet and all of those things but his sensory needs seem to be off the scale at the minute and I can’t get him to engage in anything. He’s biting at nursery and it never seems like it will stop he’s screaming at home and whining and I find the lack of engagement really hard I feel so lonely with him all day. Then he’s becoming aware of when he needs his nappy changing but has been smearing that round in his trousers but doesn’t want to use the toilet I just feel things don’t seem to be getting any easier and I try so hard I don’t know if things have just finally hit me I don’t know but I’m in tears most days as just starting to worry about everything. He’s under speech don’t really feel like the SENCO at nursery is very helpful either as he’s meant to be trying an extended support plan by she still hasn’t done it yet nearly 8 weeks after it was suggested to do one. I’m just so tired of battling for everything and getting nowhere.
