It really annoys me that people have been telling her something isn't right with W for a long time, yet she chose to ignore it because she believed that he was the perfect baby, the one to connect their ' patchwork family' and she carried on doing nothing.
Yet now is looking for someone, anyone to blame but herself.
My nieces little boy is 7, he has autism and is non verbal and that girl has done everything for her little boy, she had him young at 22 and she has bent over backwards to get him the help he needs, he now goes to a special school after a 2 year fight for him to get a place, she had introduced flash cards with pictures on them from an early age once they realised something wasn't right and he wasn't hitting his milestones, he is such a beautiful happy little lad he may not he able to speak to us all, but he will communicate in his way, he puts his hand on your cheek when he wants something and will take you to the kitchen and will sign for a drink or for food, my niece and her hubby do their upmost for him and even though he is nonverbal, he has started saying dada and mama but in his own way which isn't understandable to others, but we know what he means, my niece works in the nursery he went to from 6 weeks old and has been on courses for makaton signing and all sorts of stuff like that to help our boy. I think R & J need to take a long hard look at themselves because before they even get a diagnosis which could take years, they still could be helping W and finding ways of getting him to communicate with them, and tell them of his needs and wants.
