Apologies if this gets long 😊
So I have the most gorgeous and amazing little boy he's 4 and in recent months has been diagnosed with autism which didn't come as a huge shock I had been expecting it. He's currently in a nursery that supports his needs amazingly well and he's really happy there. He is forming friendships (he's always been very happy in the company of others) and copes well with most things they do BUT things are constant in the house just now we can't take our eyes off him he has no understanding of danger what so ever which really worries me
He's developed a thing for trying to pull the TV off the wall he grabs under it amd trys to shake it I don't no how many times I've told him no as soon as I go to the toilet or kitchen he'll do it or the climbing on the kitchen worktops these are dangerous things that could get him hurt. He also likes jumping and running which I no is sensory related but we have a neighbour under us who has put in a noise complaint my OH stresses about this alot me i dont do stress it's not that I don't care I no it must be a nightmare living under us but I already feel like I'm constantly saying NO stop it get down or don't do that plus I refuse to walk on eggshells and I don't want him to think of his childhood of constantly being told no. Lucky for us he's a good sleeper he'll go down 830 9 and that's him till the next morning. I'd love to understand him better although his speech is coming in well he's still very delayed for his age.
I feel there's nowhere to go no one to advise or help how do I help him how do I educate myself on understanding him and helping him understand the world around him.
I hate putting all that down it sounds so negative cause he's amazing and we can have the best times together when he learns a new word he makes me so proud and he doesn't even no it. I always say to him at bedtime love you and last week he said it back and gave me a kiss he completely melted me
Any advice or shared experience with autism would be appreciated xx
