River is so lucky that he has a mum and dad who love him so much they knew when something wasn't right and made sure they got something done about it. Now you have the diagnosis you will have the tools you need to ensure his life is as fulfilled as possible. As a teacher who worked with autistic children I can tell you firsthand how much difference a diagnosis makes. A boy in my year 2 class had had awful problems at school and his mother was in denial that there could be a problem. As part of a team of professionals we fought to get a diagnosis for him. Breaking the news to his mother was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. But it changed that little boy's life. Once we learned where he was on the spectrum and what his particular strengths and needs were it became so much easier to manage his behaviour and encourage his development. Last I heard he had just passed his GCSEs with flying colours! I send you all lots of love as you start on this journey. From what I know of you from Baby Centre I know you are going to do a fantastic job as advocate for your very special little boy....Ziggy xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759228390927287296.post-9250759310586366842012-06-20T23:45:40.806+01:002012-06-20T23:45:40.806+01:00I've only read this first post (my bed is call...I've only read this first post (my bed is calling) but what a lovely poem and such an honest description of your day.
