My son is on waiting list for asd assessment, like you I fought to get him help and moved him from his school to one with a speech unit. I'd do anything to make his life easier. Like you say it's what we do as parents. I don't know what happened to beggy, but she doesn't appear to have a maternal bone in her body and its sad. I can totally see signs of autism in Alfie. Someone should step in and force that sorry excuse for a mother to get him help.Thank youit’s my job as his mum - I recognised the signs when he was around 18 months and raised my concerns as soon as I could so he’s had as much support as possible. I can’t imagine sending him to pre-school knowing that something wasn’t quite right. Children with autism see the world and interpret it so differently to people without it, I wanted him to have that support there from all angles. It’s a shame rebecca hasn’t done the same and I think it’s really going to affect alfie as he gets older, it’s so much harder to get a diagnosis when they’re older too. I’m sure Alfie is a lovely boy but you can tell he’s delayed with his academics, his speech and his understanding. I think a lot of that is them holding them back and not letting either child explore certain activities or skills, they’ve never had any interests or hobbies and for Alfie at the age of 8 it’s really sad to see. He’d probably love football after school with a group of friends. My oldest did football after school when he was in primary but decided he didn’t like it, at least he gave it a go though! My middle son goes to friendship club at lunchtimes which is quite sweet but those boys are just completely cut off from anything that’s going to help them progress or give them any skills. Can guarantee her little baby “girly” will be doing ballet classes as soon as she can bloody walk though
Oh for sure, she'll have that baby girl doing all sorts, everything she couldn't be arsed doing with the boys. I really don't think I can watch her anymore, it's so upsetting seeing her already favouring that unborn baby.
