moira199 Report post Posted November 3, 2006 I am a new member and I must say I am very amazed and impressed at how much support and advice there is online. This site is heaven sent ! I have a 2 1/2 year old son with suspected ASD but no diagnosis yet. The main problem is lack of speech and a low level of desire to communicate needs. On the positive side, he is peaceful and contented, does not have tantrums, does not seem to be routine obsessed, does not have sensory issues, sleeps well and eats well. He does smile and make eye contact on his own terms - mainly to be told what a word in a book is or to share pleasure at a scene in 'Bob the Builder'. He also has a 'phone game that he loves us to play with him. He has simple receptive language and so far responds well to 'no' So all in all, quite a positive review but would love to kick start better communication even if speech is a way off yet.

moira199 Report post Posted November 3, 2006 Also, I only have a hazy idea of where the Norfolk Broads are as I live in Glasgow - I have no idea where that came from ! Moira Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oracle Report post Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Moira the Norfolk Broads is not showing where you live it's an idicator of how many posts you have made. The more posts you make the higher the hill/mountain you will be associated with. Hope this makes sense. Just check my rather HUGE mountain out underneath my name. It's certainly not where I live Oracle Edited November 3, 2006 by oracle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
