So as you might know ds2 has dyspraxia and after much faff he is currently being assessed for a statement. Toddler is very like ds2, clumsy, non verbal, won't engage in any activity like books, role play or anything really.
So he is under neuro disability pead - who agrees there are a lot if red flags.
I am waiting to see if he meets portage criteria and physio agree he's not right but won't see him again until neuro pead or we ask for it. I have been told today by some one he just needs a firm hand and it all come good. I am just so fed up of hearing that. I was told that for six years with ds2 and low and behold - it never came good. In fact it's all gone more horribly wrong than my worse case senario nightmare for him.
So am I being to negative? If I presume and treat the baby like he is nt is the best way to go? I am by presuming there's something wrong - making him non nt? I want him to be ok but how many red flags do you need to see before you have to admit it might not all just come out in the wash?
I just feel like history is repeating itself. Something in me has died in the last 12 months and I just can't act like its all going to be ok when my heart says it won't. No one understands. No one. I talk, people listen but the words just don't go through. The only advice I have had for ds2 has been wrong. The only person who was right was me. Should I just accept that maybe a baby under neuro disability peadiatrics could possibly have a neurological condition or try to be positive and presume a happy outcome and deal with my emotions once he hits three when delays will be more profound?
Why can't it just be ok that he's not 'ok?' That its not something I can just fix with a firm hand?
