Well he lasted longer than Sinsboldly or Quatermass and that says it all.
True.
I think he has lasted longer than Mr Mark, too.
Midlifeaspie, how is the speech therapy for your son going?
Do they come over to your home to deliver services, or does your son go to them?
I am getting a third opinion on Tuesday from a state service that is coming to do an in-home evaluation. I like this better and the last two didn't really seem to know what they were doing.
my little urchin is three, he was diagnosed ASD at two. I was worried about his speech. I can remember hearing other mothers saying 'quiet' and 'Shut up now' to their kids! and i used to think to meself 'i will never do that, if only he could talk' its very hard in the UK to get speech therapy for that age group. Had to pay privately. £70 an hour. It didn't work.
Four months ago i put him in a nursery for 'normal' kids, well there was one other ASD, and the urchin hasn't stopped chattering since. Proper sentences now. He goes there 15hrs a week. All i am trying to say is don't worry too much about ST. I don't know your situation, but you could try increasing the time he spends with other kids. However hard we as adults try, it is very hard to imitate a three year old!!! I used to avoid playgroups at first, used to hate the way other parents looked at us, cus my boy, well cus we were 'different' maybe it was paranoia, but definately the wrong way to go.
