Hi all
Im looking to connect with any parents or groups. My son has not long turned 3 and we had an appointment just where the paediatrician thinks he may have autistic traits. She said she thinks he will “probably” it will in 6 months when she sees him again but seemed reluctant to diagnose at the moment. He is receiving extra support at nursery.
We are struggling in all sorts of way and would be grateful to discuss.
it’s been around 8 months since some things were first flagged at nursery to us.
It would be good to chat/connect
Thanks
Kate

Hi Both,
Thanks for responding so quickly☺️. I’ve applied for the Navigate service and fingers crossed we are accepted as I think that it will really help.I’ve found lots of the chat forums that are helpful and on the scope website.
I’ve also read Alice boardmans book toast, which was very helpful.
I look forward to chatting with others on this forum.
ThanksKate x -
