Hi
This will probs be a pointless thread that folk will read and not comment,Im not looking for comments I just want to get it off my chest about our wee boy.
Our little Leo has not long turned 2 and is a very special little boy.He was my first and was such an awesome baby it was a bit of a doddle so since he's hit the 'terrible two's' its been a bit draining.
For months now I have noticed somethings not quite right,everyone told me 'all kids develop at different rates' and 'he'll get there eventually' which is fair do's.Im normally the first to say that sorta thing.I basically got shot down every time I spoke out about it,even my partner told me I was being silly.
Turns out I could be right.
Leo had his 2nd year assessment yesterday and physically he's doing fantastic but a few things i talked about may be a cause for concern.Leo doesn't speak like other 2 year olds.He says the odd words but aren't very clear.Roll back a year he could say mummy and daddy aswell as others but he seems to have forgotten which happens alot with him.He has NO attention span,can't sit still for 2mins,he doesn't understand sharing,he gets VERY frustrated when he's clearly trying to tell us something but all that comes out are shouts n screams and his tantrums aren't your usual toddler tantrum.But he is very clever,we can tell this from little things he does.
So he's been referred for speech therapy and seeing a behaviourist to see what the plan of action is.Iv been told they are assessing him for Autisim etc.
My family are finding this quite upsetting which annoys me,infact it makes me angry.Leo is such a special boy and IF he does have a few problems SO FREAKING WOT that just makes him even more special and if anyone has a problem with it the can keep their opinions to themselves.
Put it this way...think of the story about the tortoise and the hare,the hare was fast,confident and seemed smart but it was the slow,unsure and brilliant tortoise that won the race.
He'll be special to his mummy and daddy no matter what and I couldnt
't be any more proud of him.
Thanks for reading
