A Good Few Days

I started this blog as I was going through a hard time with my son. I thought, there must be other mum’s out there feeling like I do. Maybe by doing a blog (if anyone ever reads it lol) they will see they are not alone. I have hardly told anyone about the diagnosis – I don’t know why. I just find it very hard to tell people. I don’t want them to think he is anything but perfect I suppose. Maybe I am embarrassed, I really don’t know. He is very tall, which doesn’t help when his speech is so poor, as it makes him look a lot older and that comes across worse. I just explain he has developmental issues – that’s not a lie.

He has been in a great wee mood the last couple of days. We are noticing his speech is improving and he is turning into a wee comedian. He makes silly noises and when we laugh, he does it again or something similar just to make us laugh. Though we can’t make too much of a fuss of him. He HATES that. He gets very embarrassed and very quickly becomes very anxious and agitated.

His teacher has told us to get him into drama classes as he dramatizes everything. We notice that too. He copies things happening on TV, or poses on photos or pictures.

It’s been a good few days, let’s see how long it continues!!
