Leighann

Thanks for the Welcome! As for the statement, we are pushing for an early review, also they have or are covering lunch and play times which is good. It just seems all we have been doing for the last couple of years is fight for help. Not having a great day today so aplogise if this sounds whiney! Thanks again for the welcome. Leighann xx

Hi All. Just thought i'd pop in and introduce myself! I'm Leighann, have 3 children, 13, 9 and 4. My 4 year old has been diagnosed with ASD on a moderate scale. Fought for 2 long solid years to find out his problem and finally we have a diagnosis. But then that's all we have... oh and leaflets. I've had to give up full time employment as i was struggling to cope with everything. My son started school last week, we have a statement, which again we had to fight for, and appeal against and still ended up getting silly hours ... a whopping 15. We decided to try him in a mainstream school for the time being, although even after the first week am begining to wonder if we did the right thing. Keep telling myself its just the first week, give it time! Anyway now i talked your ears off i'll depart! Leighann
