Hi everyone,
Today we got our diagnosis that Christina has Autism.
I am not sad or upset about it, even though I cried a lto when it was suggested 6 months ago. I dont know why but I feel positive that the label will give us access to tools to help her and that is what i want for her most. To get specific help around her needs and nobody elses. We were lucky this process took less than expected EAling Council have been fantastic on that front.
Now on with waiting for appointments for O/T, Speech and the EArly programme. Anyone familiar with the later? what is it about?
Also, Christina is 3 do you think I should start process of us applying for special education help etc? I heard that can be a nightmare/ any suggestions advise on how to go about this??? I am very new and not familiar with anything at the moment.
Thank you xx
