I posted a few days ago about my dc. I've suspected that he has ASD for a long time however we've never pursued an assessment. After an awful few weeks with him I've decided I'm going to make a gp appointment to discuss my concerns so I've been thinking about lots of big and little things about dc both good and not so good.I've been talking about thing with dh and my mam to get things clear in my head.
It may not even be relevant because he is a very loving gorgeous little boy but I've just realised I can't remember one single time where he's said 'i love you' to me. If I say I love you on the odd occasion he was say it back but very rarely. Most of the time he says 'ok' when I say it to him.
I don't know if it's even important or not in terms of his development and if that's just 'normal' for 9year old boys but when I thought about it it just makes me feel sad.
