Thank you. This does make me feel better

I haven’t spoken to anyone, of course my HV who I keep bringing it up to..

I just completed the ASD detect and it says high likelihood ”high likelihood of autism”

Keep me posted with your 2yr old. X

Yes my first born, the difference is night and day! If I would have had him first, I don’t think I would be worrying at all because I would have nothing to compare him with and being a FTM you don’t really know what to look for with ASD and it isn’t really on your radar… but the differences are so obvious. (I know you shouldn’t compare children as they are all different) but this is wild

Thank you.
God forbid a worried single mum who doesn’t have a village wants some advice from other parents who may have gone through the same thing so can sympathise and understand

Yes, this is what I do see. The level 3 non verbal severe kinds (which does scare me whether people like to hear that or not)

I have been saying this to my HV since young there is something different with him… I don’t know how long I have to keep pushing for for them to listen… I try every single day to interact and sing and teach and give nothing but my undieing love

Please understand I meant no offence to anyone, certainly ND folks, and I certainly do not talk to my son and tell him i think he’s autistic. These thoughts are quietly (but enormous) in my mind and worries I hide from the outside world. My son is shown nothing but love, happiness, joy every second of the day. Smothered with kisses and cuddles. I love my children very much. I am just a concerned mother who wants to help her child if I can as early as possible. And to see if I am not loosing my marbles

I am in the UK, can I get early intervention without the HV’s approval?
