I don't know my baby anymore

mrsssavageangel

We've just been told that whilst we don't have a diagnosis yet, we are in that "ball park" by the paediatrican at RSCH. 

And now I don't feel like I know my son anymore.

He's 2.5 and this week I've just felt like I can't take him out to any of the places we used to go. I don't feel like I can play with him, without bursting int to tears and as such he's happily playing on his own.

Does this pass?

Can I ask other parents of ASD toddlers if and how they integrate? We live in a small town in rural surrey so there are no specialist facilities close by. Do I just keep him at home?

I'm so sad. Sorry

    You might find there are integration issues...but you dont sequester your child...you must fight for his right to be included in communual activities (whereas he has a desire to do so, dont force it) and be vigilant that orginisers do not bully him, or allow the other children to bully him, into quitting activities he likes...
