My litte child has Autism...
hi there,
Is there any other parent out there (I know there must be!) with a child with Aspergers Syndrome or any 'level' of Autism?
I have always known our child was different....but did not know exactly why and often he did amazing things, way beyond other children for his age. However, he finds it hard to play with other children, is sensitive to loud noises and does not yet have a converstation with me, despite his vocab being very wide and varied. He is placid - always been an easy baby, sleeps well, eats heaps, tall and gorgeous.
We are in the LONG process of assessment before he goes to preschool...
Is there anyone else out there who knows what I mean?
I hear you loude and clear
Hello
My almost 4 year old has been diagnoised with High functioning Autisum. I live in the shepparton area and the support from Human services and the hospital here has been fantastic. Wilhelm has had an educational advisor who helped him to sit at a table and listen. He has started speech therapy. not the normal a e i o u type. no the 'the boy is eatting an apple' whilst pointing at a picture of a boy eating an apple. I have made flash cards for him along these lines and I find they have helped. I have also made a booklet about him, so when he starts 3 year old playgroup next year, the teachers will understand his noises and actions. and they will also know what to do. If you want a copy of this, just let me know and I'll email it to you. I gave Wilhelms grandparents and aunty and uncles a copy and now they finally bloody understand him. I get very defensive when I go shopping and get "ah if someone tired' or ' does someone need a nap'. I usually snap and go "NO someone just has to get out of his face. he has autisum and he doesnt like you staring at him"
If you need any info just let me know and i'll be happy to pass any one to you.
Life does get easier, just remember your not a bad parent. The opposite, your wonderful as you have been given a beautiful and special guy to have in your life. He will make you see the world in many different shades of colours.
O:) Keep smiling
