Feel sad tonight
I'm feeling quite sad this evening about my baby boy who's just over two, I think he has autism and I just wish I could chat with him so badly but he just doesn't understand communication and doesn't speak, I pray with everything I have, he will get diagnosed and the speech therapy will help him because I feel so lonely sometimes when I have only him to talk to and he can't reply, I'm just chatting away to myself
Be kind to yourself- some days I’m fine and some days I cry and “grieve” the neurotypical things I thought my child would do. I was the Mum that would get swept up in what other kids were doing and work myself up over what my child could possibly be. Only after a lot of time I am so proud of my child and even more so of the neurotypical things she can do! This year, at the age of 4 she said Mummy for the first time and it was a complete euphoric core memory that matched her birth. As parents of ND children our timelines are slightly different. I promise he does understand you, keep doing what you’re doing! Mikaylas Voice on Netflix is a tearjerker but a beautifully put perspective. If you’re UK based, you can be referred to SALT from 2.5 years old without diagnosis🤍
