I'm a 26 year old mum of three beautiful, talented and clever children.
My eldest, KC, turned 5 in January this year and started big school at the beginning of February. She's been doing really well, at least when I ask her how her day at school was she always says 'fun'.
So that's a good thing.

She was diagnosed for ASD in November 2010 and since then she's made some incredible progress. She is on the 'mild' part of the spectrum. I always get confused with what is high and what is low functioning autism so I just say she's got it mild. She can speak whereas a lot of other asd kiddies I know can barely say a word or two. Her speech is basically on par with her 3 year old brother's. Only recently have we been able to have conversations with her.

Our latest challenge is explaining God to her. I'm a reborn Christian as of the beginning of 2012, so my faith and my children's faiths have taken high priority.

I thought this forum was for parents who have children with autism, I remember signing up to one forum like that when KC was just diagnosed and all their lingo was just too daunting for me so I never showed face there again.
But this forum is so soooo much better.
I went on a three month course to better understand autism and rule #1 : get into their world before you try bring them into yours.

Thank you thank you thank you for making this forum. Look forward to seeing you guys around Smile
