Want to cry

[Crabious]

Just had meeting with school and looks like I'm going to have to get dd3 - 5 years assessed for ASD - already have a ds1 with Apergers and just feel like giving up at the moment

Crabious, sorry you are having a hard time. It's not easy to face our children having special needs. I hope you get the assessment done quickly so that she can start getting help at school.

sorry such a rough time

{{hugs}}

I have 2 dd's on the spectrum, dd1 has Aspergers, we thought dd2 was NT as she was such a easy going baby (unlike her sister), it turns out that dd2 has ASD (more severe than dd1) so we had to go through dx with a second child, as her sister was already diagnosed it made it a lot quicker to get dd2 a dx (as often it runs in the family).

I hope things run as smoothly as they can do for you, its not easy having to go through it once let alone twice.

Hugs. i know how you feel.

My first born DD has uncontrolled epilepsy and SEN associated with this aswell as immunological issues and now a liver problem. We're seeing CAMHS later this month re DS and although i'm hoping that he doesn't i am half expecting an ASD diagnosis.

It just feels so unfair doesn't it.

I hope the assessment goes well and your DD3 isn't diagnosed with ASD, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Sorry to hear you are sad. Hope everything is ok for you.

Thanks everyone - I know it will be ok in the end - I have suspected since she was 2 but thought we could sort of ''get away with it'' as we have done with ds2 who has ''aspects'' but is generally ok

It is the thought of all the meetings / assesments etc which TBH all seamed pretty pointless with DS1

Marne - she was also a very easy/quite baby where as DD1 was a nightmare lol

Newlife4us - huggs to you - and fingers crossed - makes my problems look small TBH

I always read thease boards as it normally puts stuff in perspective 4 me -

I think its worse as she did somthing very ''embarrasing'' at school - her story is she was being bullied - the other party that she did it on purpose - no staff actually saw but as we live in a small villoage I'm having problems deling with it TBH

Feel like putting on facebook to the other Mum - I have a child with ASD yours it just a bully - get over it. I wont but hey ho

Crabious - I'm sorry you are going through this. Going through SA at moment, and the thought of having to do it again would make me feel the same. But you WILL get through this. Be strong. As for the other mum - if you think you can face it, I would tell her loudly at the school gates - it will either get her on-side, or stop her moaning.

tx - I would normally but she is particularly ''gobby'' lol
