What a amazing job you are doing, Hope that you have wonderful support around you and that you get some time out every now and then for you

Oh sweetheart, you are doing an amazing job! I love seeing mums especially young mums step up and having a child with special needs makes it that extra bit harder but you have taken on the challenge and embraced it with amazingness and absolute love! Well done!

Beautiful story Hun children with special needs are special indeed n have the most amazing personalities my son was tested for autism and was borderline but is in kindy now and he can’t be stopped with learning and speech we r all truly blessed as parents to have the gifts of kids

You are doing a great job. If you haven’t already done so, think about joining a local support group for families who have children with Autism. There are lots of tips to give your child and yourself the best chance of having a calm and organised day, plus it’s great to chat with other parents who understand what it is like to have a special child.

Totally agree with the milestones are always going to be big achievements and never feel
Bad for making a big thing of them. I’m sure people around me get sick of hearing about things to them are just everyday things, but to me they are AMAZING.

My first is a special needs child too. You’re right, it’s tough sometimes, but I’d never trade him.

You are such a strong woman, yes it’s hard having a special needs child, my son was born with spina bifeda, I love him no more or no less than my other children, he just needs extra care, it’s very challenging at times but it does make you grow as a person.
There milestones are always going to be big achievements but never feel bad making a big thing of them, having a lot of support also helps you grow more and adjust,.
A very moving story thanks for sharing.

What an amazing mother and woman you are, to look at challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. Your son is incredibly lucky to have you as a mother.

Every child is special. Your little fellow sounds adorable, and I am so glad you have support!

I was a little older but I have only one child and he had different conditions and I feel the same way.

Thank you for sharing your lovely story it’s great that your sons disability is teaching you so much and you never know you may now be able to help someone else.

you are a great mother and you and your son are lucky to have each other

You should be very proud. Well done to you.

You did very great job to look after your little one. Well done:)

well done to you and for your little one I really enjoyed ready it

I know what it’s like to have a child with Autism as both of mine have got it too, my son was diagnosed at nearly 4 and my daughter at the same age. My son is almost nonverbal and still being toilet trained but we will get there. My daughter is more higher functioning than her brother and is actually diagnosed with Aspbergers Syndrome (High Functioning Autism) and was completly toilet trained in 3 weeks which is a great achievement for both her and us as parents. My daughter goes to normal school with an Integration Aide and my son goes to a Specialist school and both are doing extremely well. Keep up the good work you will be surprised at just what these special kids can do.

you sound like a brave and strong woman, I wish you all the best with raising your son
