Hello, I live on the Kent Sussex boarder and really need some companionship. I have a 4 year old who is currently being assessed for Autism. So far I have had 'early years' visit who have said he has special needs with social communication. I feel very alone and isolated. I feel like I have a need to meet other parents/children who have children who play the same so I can share my experience with them. I have always felt like a bad Mum, who cannot control my child and have kept away from toddler groups because of the looks and whispers I get from others. I have blamed myself constantly for isolating us from social situations and feel this may have contributed to his development. My husband was in denial, blaming my worries on my depression. I feel the road to the full assessment/diagnosis will be a long one and don't want to be alone on this journey. Anyone happy to hold my hand?
