hobbityhole Report post Posted January 3, 2008 Happy New Year to one & all - need some advice here, have just found out I am expecting and was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to explain it to my 4 year old ds who has HFA without confusing the heck out of him? Any & all suggestions would be great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizC Report post Posted January 3, 2008 Hi not sure really, all children are different even with asd and their understanding can be so different. when I had my third M (AS) was only just over 3 so I didn't really have to explain too much although he understood very well anyway. (he used to call my bump 'the egg' lol) sorry haven't been much help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brooke Report post Posted January 3, 2008 Congrats I was also expecting when my asd son was 4. To be honest he couldnt have cared less When i got bigger i used to say mummy is having a baby its in my tummy which seemed to interest him a little but i wouldnt worry too much about it try and relax while you can <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
