DS who has just turned 3 doesn’t keep eye contact, repeats things from tv shows incessantly, doesnt respond to his name and doesn’t understand a lot of simple commands like “bring mummy your shoes”. There is other stuff but you get the picture, I can’t eat or sleep properly with worry as I feel like the life we had envisaged for our little boy won’t happen now and am terrified of the effect it will have on us as a family (I have an older boy who is 8).
Can anyone share their experiences as we haven’t even started the process of trying to get a diagnosis yet but feel now that I know what I’m looking for it’s so obvious and our lives are never going to be the same.
Thanks
