Hi dreaming big.
You have done well; I saw your blog and enjoyed reading it also. Keep up the good work.
Because you asked.
Ok, well my son is 15 years old. I didn't know I was pregnant with him till I was about 10weeks. You see I was still breast feeding my first child and fell pregnant when she was 7months. It was hard work having two babies so close in together but very for filling. When he was about 17months old I noticed that he wasn’t progressing like my first born. People said boys are slower. Well he still wasn’t walking or talking and my gut feeling told me that he wasn’t quit right. He was in day care where I was nursing and one day the staff told me that they have concerns about him and he wasn’t like the other toddlers. At that stage my heart sank into my pants.
To cut a long story short, I took him to a paediatrician and other child professionals who said he has autism. We started early education immediately, speech therapy, occupational therapy, Physio and the lot I could think of.
I decided to mainstream him at school so that he can learn the norm. I didn’t want him to stay with special needs all the time. Any way today he is a fun loving happy teenager who participates in tennis comp and goes to swim squad.
You would never know he had issues. The only time is when we go on holidays or take him out of his environment. He would drive his sisters nuts but once I give a piece of my mind he behaves himself.
