So yesterday ds's postage nursery nurse told us we should apply for dla, until this point I knew ds 23 months had some sort of developmental delay, but I had thought that ds would eventually catch up with his peers. I had purposely stayed away from Google as I have anxiety anyway and Google is not good for it. However the filling in of the forms and some of the things she said have caused me to realise, this is not just simply a delay and that his life is going to look very different to that of his peers and indeed his siblings. 3 things were mentioned gdd which I knew about, AND which had been mentioned but as responsibility and SPD which they seem to believe is his biggest issue.
My question is, in reality what will life look like for him? After reading up on SPD last night im worried, does that mean he is living in a constant state of anxiety!? How do I help him??
