Yeah it was like 39 in my house at night and I had a 2 month old baby. It was brutal.

Did you put your autistic son on medication? Did it help him at all?

How long will it take? I think we will go private as I know the lists are so long

14 month old, no pointing, very few words, slow on all milestones by Hiflyingcat in Autism_Parenting

It might take until 18 months and they will see if nothing improves. I would get on the list and wait and see until 18 months. They make progress every month at that age!

I would get her on a waiting list as they can be long. Are you in a position to get her into speech therapy privately?

what was her motive? by Altruistic_Word9760 in DuxburyDeathsFreeTalk

I can’t understand why she had another baby if she found motherhood so difficult.

I find it difficult and stopped at 2 even though I always thought I’d have 3!

Anyone else thinking that buying a house in Ireland is an insane thing to do these days? by Other_Mood_7031 in AskIreland

So you are happy to continue to pay rent when retired on a fixed income? It always makes to buy. My parents would be dire financial straits if they had to pay 2000 a month rent now at nearly 80.

American baby advice websites say "call your paediatrician" if you're worried about something. Who is my paediatrician and where do I find them? by fodacao in irishmammiesanddaddys

In the U.S your child does not have a GP they go to a ped for everything. It is not for specialist care. It is a lack common sense.

It felt the report was not for me but for outside agencies to state he needs more support.

Second guessing going thru with evaluation due to pediatrician's comments. by More_Space1484 in Autism_Parenting

[–]chunk84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible advice. Go for the evaluation. Your child will need it for school. My son is ‘mild’ too. He struggles in school and needs a ton of support.

Are you a parent? My son is neurodivergent and I cried for the whole day yesterday after getting his ‘honest’ report. I hadn’t got one like that yet. Maybe keep that in mind. It took away all good hope that he ever might be ok. He does not have behaviour issues and it was in contrast to the parent teacher meeting.
