Hi,
I've read posts from a lot of you who have kids with ASD, and some of you who knew something was wrong very early on.
My son is 9 months and showing lots of the signs of ASD but may also be severely learning disabled? He was 10 weeks prem and had meningitus. He has poor eye contact, doesn't respond to name, has frequent periods of rapid breathing & over excitement, moving limbs, cries a lot and very frustrated.
I am finding it really hard to cope. I am grieving but also finding it hard emotionally to look after him. I am starting anti-depressants but would love to hear from other parents how they coped in this early stage with all these difficult emotions.
thank you xx
