Dear all,
This is my first time on here..
My son is lined up to have his tonsils and adenoids removed and possibly grommets put in, in the next month or so.
I want to hear from any parents who's child is ASD (non verbal if poss) and had chronic ear infections.
Did the surgery help? Was it worth it?
My autistic daughter (very verbal) had her very enlarged tonsils and her adenoids removed at nine and was much the better for it. I believe grommets can have very beneficial effects for chronic ear problems, but have no direct experience of them.
Ah lovely, thank you for your reply. I am massively overthinking about what can go wrong after the surgery. Makes all the difference to hear your daughter is better off for having it.
