Hi there, i am new to the forum.

My 3 year old daughter was diagosed with ASD on Monday.

Although i kind of knew, it still came as a bit of a shock.  We think she may

also have some sensory issues, so we are looking at investigating this.

Would be nice to meet parents in a similar situation.

:)

  • It must be totally exhausting working full time and having two little ones. I dont think i could manage and i only have one child!  My boss made it very easy for me to reach the decision of quitting when my daughter was very young.  My partner and i don't have any family support, so on the very few occasions that my daughter was unwell at nursery, i would have to leave work to take her home. So, i have been a full time mum since my daughter was 11 months old. My partner works full time. While i do feel blessed to be in this position, it doesnt come without its struggles. Not least financially.  My partner works long hours and often we will both be asleep by the time he comes home - i often feel very alone in caring and managing our daughter, especially if it has been a day of meltdowns or other challenging behaviours. I want to say to you, try to not feel guilty, because you are doing the best that you can - but i know that you can't help the way you feel.  The booklet was really helpful, loads of useful information. Thank you.  I hope The Reason I Jump is just as helpful to you.
