Definitely.. Communication seems to be the hardest thing atm.. he says a word, I have no clue what he's on about, but he thinks I do, so when I sayy I don't understand that is it.. tantrum. It's hard because I have a 6 month old too and although I spend as much time as poss with her it seems like Kyle is getting all of the attention and when I go back to her it's time for her nap.. I feel so bad.. On both of them. if I'm honest I feel like a useless Mum, even though I have their best intentions at heart I can't seem do to right for doing wrong
I know what you mean because I regularly think I fail my DD but everyone says I'm a fantastic mum and that they wouldn't be able to handle her! Its very hard, can be very lonely and a very stressful time, just remember it won't be forever, he's still very young! Have you tried establishing a strict routine so he knows what will always be happening and maybe using photo cards! At my DD school they use them, they have photos of painting, sandpit, jigsaws etc and let her pick so its easier to communicate, also in her new school they have there daily routine in pics, I.e. Registration, singing, playtime etc so the children know what's happening next! You could try brushing teeth, getting dressed, breakfast pics etc! And does he have a punishment e.g naughty spot?? Xxx
I had to keep pushing and pushing The pead saw him as he needed the usual fragile x blood test etc, she just kept seeing his every 6mths (probably hoping I would get bored and stop pestering them!) x

Oh babe, don't feel like that
- He always knows whats coming next and I tell him too, for example.. your going for a nap in 10mins etc. Although the cards might be a good idea! Same here hun, my mum often tells me how proud she is of the way I'm bringing them up, but it's hard to accept that when your getting things thrown at you! - Yeah I've tried to enforce the naughty step but it doesn't work, as soon as he's off it, he does whatever he did to get on it, again and again. Shouting doesn't work, and I don't want to do that anyway, I don't want him to be scared to say something for fear of my reaction. His room is his happy place so I don't want to make that a place of punishment cos I don't think their bedroom is good for that. I did however, get him a tent and put it in his room with loads of cushions and "comfort" toys.. This usually calms him down now, but for how long!? lol. Has your DD been diagnosed or are you still in the process ?
