My DS was born at 30 weeks & had meningitus. He's never liked hugs, has really poor attention, tantrums really easily, has some words but not mummy & daddy. More recently he has become obsessed with switches, buttons and doors. He isn't really interested in toys.
I know a lot about ASD through my job (maybe too much!)and it seems really clear to me but our paed is being annoyingly cautious. DH won't talk about it.
I find my DS really hard to manage and be with and I'm terrified that this will only get worse as he gets older. I'm really scared about how much our life could be dominated by him. Other people, including my mum, already find it hard to look after him. He does attend nursery while i work part-time which has kept me just about sane but some days I feel so sad / angry.
Any advice / help really welcome xxxx
