Hi my 23 month old son recently got a working diagnosis of autism. I feel quite alone with it all and I'm sick of people just bypassing me when I try talk about it like it means nothing because they don't have a child with problems. I feel like I can't talk to my friends about it because they domt understand it. Some days I feel a bit isolated in the house with it and wish there was like a group I could go to and meet other parents with children similar to mine but there seems little on that would fit in with my older sons preschool run . Just looking to chat really!
Hiya, I'm new too. My son is 5 and has just been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Our diagnosis was a massive relief as I have spent last 3 years convinced I was bad parent. I too feel quite isolated as my family are 300 miles away and my hubby's family are lot older but they do now listen, despite the years of "he's just like his dad was" and "he's fine stop worrying". Consultant has referred us to support groups and school have given us details of other groups within the county. I'm looking forward to speaking to other parents and getting tips on here.
