  1. Hi its a little late for me posting but your post was very inspiring and such a lovely post I just had to say a very big welcoming HI, I love your positive attitude and the inner light you carry for your son, you made me re think of how far my own son has come and like yours mine has also come a very long way as well,

     

    Your post made mer reconnect with that even though its strange when things are working, I really do hope that things continue to be very positive and with your support that you show for your son I am sure that he is in the best of caring arms.

     

    Looking forward to getting to know you and sharing stories too

     

    Anyway I am off to bed now so night night.

  2. Hi and welcome. Its encouraging to hear that things can and do get better.

    I havent got it too bad at the moment, I have just been told that my son is on the autistic spectrum though its only the opinion of a health visitor. Ill have to wait a while for a proper assessment.

    As you will know there are good and bad days, but im looking forward to more good days once I get some help.

     

    Great to hear about your boy. My boy is 4 too - sept 02

    Hi Claire, My boy was 4 last July, born 2002 also! I won't deny we have hard days, but since my son has been at school things have changed a lot and he is collected by the school bus each day, so I see some of the poor children who are affected by really terrible physical and mental disabilities and I just see how lucky we are to have Ellis who can walk and run. He may not talk, but he uses gesture to communicate and we get on fine. I hope that in time his speech will develop, but if not I will be here for him, as will his Dad and his Sister.

     

    Keep strong and push for an answer/diagnosis, you are the Mum and Mum's always know when something is wrong or amiss!

     

    I have cried soooo many tears and shouted and screamed in frustration and asked 'why my boy?', my Hubby has too, but now we know we can't stay that way, we have to move forward and make a happy life for us all. It will get easier!

     

    Get it out when you have to, Crying is a good way of releasing all that frustration.

  3. Hi Everyone.

     

    Thankyou all so much for your kind words of support. I know i have said it before but it is easier knowing i am not alone..... we are not alone...

     

    The problem the other night was it just all came to a head. I was trying my best to keep things calm and happy, and then it all went to pot. I discovered that my daughter (whos 9) is still self harming even though i have begged and pleaded, for her to stop. The eldest was been his usual self and kieran was having one meltdown after another. Steve is suffering from huge amounts of pain, and the morphine is no longer working. And i just popped.

     

    Im feeling a little better today, although nothing really has changed, my family help where they can but as for respite i cant really do that as my mum is suffering also with a crumbling spine, and dad works full time. I am loathed to go back to the psychologists because i am sick of them telling me that all our problems are caused by anxiety.

     

    Anyway thanks so much im relived to know that we are all in the same boat.

     

    Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. :wub:

    ((((PINGU))))) Hi, I'm new! Hope things get better for you! xxx


  4. Hi All!, This is my first post, I have been lurking for a while and decided to come on board! I'm 33, married with two beautiful children, a boy aged 4 and a girl aged 2. My son is Austistic and Non Verbal and was diagnosed in November 2005 when he was 3 and a half, after two years of me trying to get a professional to confirm my suspicions. He is also Globally Delayed.

     

    My son attended a mainstream nursery for seven months and the staff there were instrumental in us receiving the support and some of the answers to our concerns. He has been attending a small special needs school for 8 months now and is very happy there. He is in a class of 6 children, all with ASD difficulties.

     

    Life at the moment is relatively calm and we are all happy, we have had some challenging and traumatic times, but things are very upbeat right now. My son is affectionate, responsive, giggly and very active!! Just a year ago life was uncertain and I was an emotional wreck, my son was unresponsive, unaware, screaming non stop, faddy (still is to a point!) and made no eye contact with anybody. The boy I have today is a millions miles from the confused little one a year ago! Life isn't perfect but it's good enough for us! :)

     

    I am looking forward to sharing stories, advice and hopefully laughs with many of you! :D
