I get a lot of people saying to me
if I mention my daughter is autistic ohhh she don't look it. .
the thing with autism is not a visual appearance.
And I get annoyed if people pity her or me.
Don't have pitty she very happy girl and her world is very happy

I have an autistic nephew. My son is the baby of the extended family so ye know how that works but my nephew is still the man. I hate the way it's considered a disease just cause someone isn't wired the same way as so called "normal" people like us. Love that man to death. |

There's never a day our wee man doesn't make me proud, in one way or another, he battles though a lot, but achieves even more, even though hes only eight, hes my best mate, and always will be. |

you know, we are all on the spectrum somewhere or another, what is one persons funny wee traits, is another persons autism.
my son was disgnosed with the condition at 18 months, and he's saner and more balanced than some of the eejits i work with. |

early diagnosis is vital
I was lucky my girl wss diagnosed very early at the age of two. The health authorities like to diagnose children with autistic tendacys.
my advise is a independent physiological report and your child should get the help they deserve one to one early introvention is vital. |

"That's one thing I really do need help with is the behaviour I hav the older two on such a tight ship yet I'd be blue in the face with him tryin to get him to stop ha thanks "
I went through hardship with my girl.
Her behaviour was terrible...but I had to ignore it I got chairs thrown at me bite it was a hard struggle hair pulled u name it.
But by Me ignoring Her. It worked.
And not just my girl..... im so proud of what she has achieved she's the most loving girl u could meet.... my youngest is brilliant with her
I think it gives other siblings the understanding and awareness of disability whatever the condition is. |

the hand flapping my girl did she had no eye contact now her eye contact is amazing does your lad walk in hid tippy toes.
The classic signs of autism is no eye contact
hand flapping walking on toes and high pitch screaming. My daughter had that so her autism was diagnosed as classical autism on
the spectrum. Her speech to this day is limited but speaks when she has too.
and sometimes says things im left with mouth opened. |

the very same as muy daughter she can re site a hole Disney film to me but won't hold a coonversation.
children with autism also have adhdas well. .
I used yo hate bringing my girl shopping to.
the thing with her if I let her get away with something once she will keep at it.
I know its hard but bringing him into a shop and letting him have what he wants causes more problems he will expect it all the time. .
I learnt that with my girl.
I have carried her out of shops screaming people staring u know people are thinking spoilt bratt I have had dealings with autism for 14 yrs amm I can say it does get easier.
This mothers days she made me a card wrote on it and signed it with her name and made me a flower out of tissue paper. .
she adores the ground I walk on and I her.
she has taught me sooo much. |

Sorry ive been late seeing this post.....
Our 4 and a half year old boy is autistic...and we wouldnt change him for the world...he is the reason we gey up in the morning....actually we get up all nite 2...as he has no sleep patern...no speech as of yet...but he is trying...he is so happy in himself ...and so affectionate to us and close friends and family...we found when trying to get diagnosis we had to ask alot off questions and insist on been seeing regular as we had heard early intervention is best.....
He is also very very choosey with foods...
I must say his mum is the best in the world..patience of a saint...for putting up with him and me as we are both very testing at times.....lol
If anyone had asked us 6 years ago what is autism we would have been baffled...today we still dont fully understand but when we see a child in a supermarket trowing a tantrum or screaming or hitting his or her mum we dont say that child needs a slap we say nothing only tell ourselves that child may have the spectrum....love our little man....R&C

My son is dcd. Used to be diagnosed under the category of autism. It's accompanied often with ADHD. Thankfully my son isn't. Poor social skills, coordination problems etc. He's a very fussy eater. All bland foods like pasta and rice. Food needs to be seperated on plate. No sauces or gravy bar curry sauce. I can empathize with parents of children with autism. A lot of patience needed but the love and affection received makes it all worthwhile. |
