Even a little bit of help would be more than appreciated. I am a mother of a 7yo, when my DS was 4 he suffered from a stroke which has effected his speech dramatically. In order for him to speak he has to think about what he wants to say then process how he is going to say it in his head, and when he says it 8 times out of 10 he gets all the words jumbled up which always reduces him to tears, it has gotten to a stage where he no longer wants to speak and would rather write down what he wants to say.
He has no confidence or self believe what so ever. I always encourage him and praise him even for the littlest things he does. He doesn't like going out, tears every night before bed because he knows he has got school in the morning and tears every morning before school.
He attends a school for children with learning difficulties because he just wasn't managing in mainstream school as they couldn't cater for his needs, I must say the school is brilliant their main concern is that he doesn't interact with any of the teachers or his peers, they told me today that he might have some form of autism.
No matter how much I try he always looks so sad it is breaking my heart, and dad just doesn't want to know him anymore.
