New here

Hey,

No worries. I just typed a massive reply, but it got wiped because i forgot to sign in. Doh.

So sorry to hear things havent been great for you. Also sorry to hear that your husband has lost his job. What a nightmare. It never rains, but it pours huh.   Aww, yes i totally get that, i wouldnt like to not be able to go to any appointments.  Does your son have a portage worker you can talk to? Or maybe a health visitor might be of some use? joining a group would probably be a good idea, but i do get what you mean. Im also not great with that sort of thing. I have decided to make myself go to this group on friday. It is an ASD support group that runs once a month. My little one will be at nursery, so will have to go on my own, if i dont chicken out like i have done for the last few months. I do think, if you can find one that can fit around you, it can only be a help being around other parents in a similar situation. Glad to hear you have found a good book and you're finding it helpful. It is definitley a work in progress.

Well, i gave myself a mental slap. i just keep going into a panic with 'what if's?'.  So i have been reading about the sensory side of things and think my little one defo has some sensory issues. If i can find a way to try to help lessen or manage some of her traits, surely it will make her life a bit easier? If it even works. I spoke to a therapist and we have an appointment in a couple of weeks. 

I hope that you are ok. Sorry i am not of much help with advice and stuff. Dont know if we are allowed to swap email addresses on here, but heres mine if you want to chat privately tinkermelll@hotmail.com  Hope this week is a better one for you.
