sheOmg what?! I've never heard that. Poor Rosemary. So is that what her depression stems from?
It was a fairly big deal at the time, she wrote a blog post about it that sort of went... viral for the wrong reasons if I recall correctly
Big controversy regarding the ItGalz disputing the grape. Think it was because she didn’t exactly tell him to stop? (I’d imagine she froze in complete horror of what was happening to her. Don’t know the story myself. Not something I’d like to read. Would be very upsetting but fair balls to her for writing about it. Can’t imagine it’s easy thing to write)
I'd forgotten about that, I wonder.
It was because it was someone who she has slept with before, she said she didnt want to but went along with it, he didn’t force her as such. She wrote about it in a blog post which seems to be taken down now. It did cause a lot of controversy at the time.

I really don’t think so
Atlas diagnosed with autism, I bet that's a big part of why she's been so upset, that and not being able to go home. Must be so stressful for her, I hope he's able to communicate soon.
Is he a little young to be diagnosed? I haven’t listened to her story so I’m not up to speed but he’s only an infant??
Oh wow, I didn’t realise that kids could be diagnosed at such a young age
Fair play to her for getting a diagnosis when he’s that young. Early intervention is key for helping him throughout his life and enabling him to reach his potential.
Yes I would think it's very young as well, afaik he isn't speaking though which is a sign
So young to be diagnosed . Most psychologists won’t diagnose in Ireland until at least 2( which I don’t think he is ). My youngest is on a waiting list for assessment but is only 20 months so I’ve been told by the team they. wouldn’t be getting an AsD assessment yet anyway . ABA though….. so many mixed feelings on that
It’s all very different in America though. Diagnose very young and of course use ABA which is shunned by the ASD community
They are so quick to put a label on something, he’s only an infant, if he isn’t speaking at his age I wouldn’t see it as a major issue, I wouldn’t automatically think he needs to be assessed. I guess she is with him at all times and knows best…
What age is he? He’s a toddler…seems so very young for a diagnoses. My lad didn’t speak a word until he turned 2. After 2 weeks in childcare he was speaking full sentences and never looked back.
I think he is 2 in a few months. It is probably more than just speech as they wouldn’t just diagnose on that alone, although it does still seem so young. My youngest son had delayed speech, but I also have an older child with non verbal autism. Lack of speech was the first sign for us. Not all children just magically start speaking so early intervention is key
I know absolutely nothing about autism but no speech at all at this age is definitely delayed, though obviously every child gets there at a different time. I don't know what other signs he might have but she did say a while back that Bea had encouraged her to have a consultation with speech therapy
