Hi everyone , what a beautiful sunny day it's been, hope you've all been enjoying it.
I'm new - our 3 and a half year old just got diagnosed on Friday ( provisionally) with mild cerebral palsy and I'm trying to get my head round it. All I know is he is amazing and I wouldnt have him any other way that who is is. He's such a sunny boy. But obviously there's alot to think about.
Is there anyone here that is a similar situation ? Or further down the path? I'm feeling quite overwhelmed as I have a daughter who was relatively recently diagnosed with ASC and sensory and has been needing alot of support. I just want to do my very best by them both .
Thanks for reading my long ramble xx

Hi @Rosmum - I'm pleased to be the first to welcome you to Scope's online forum. It has been a lovely day, & I've enjoyed being out in the garden. It sounds like your son has a lovely Mum, who appreciates him for how he is, but I can imagine his diagnosis on top of your daughter's must feel a bit overwhelming, tho I'm sure you will do your very best for both of your children.We do have a lot of parents whose children have Cerebral Palsy, & also adults who know what it's like growing up with it. I'll ask our CP Specialist officer to get in touch with you after the Bank Holiday. Please @Richard_Scope would you chat to this Mum, thank you.

Hi @Rosmum
Great to virtually meet you! I have CP too as do many members of the community. When I was growing up it was important for me that the focus was on what I could do and that I was allowed to try and sometimes fail at things.
Here are some good books that you could perhaps read with your son:Xander's Cerebral Palsy Superpowers (One Three Nine Inspired): Amazon.co.uk: Yarborough, Lori Leigh, Freeland, Lori, Oslizlo, Roksana: 9781732638150: Books
We also have a fantastic service for parents, called Navigate and lots of information to help Families with disabled children
I'm very happy to answer any questions that you might have too, so please feel free to contact me.Scope
