I hope you don't mind me sort of gatecrashing - neither of my two children have any particular special needs although the eldest who is three does have glue ear, my background pre-children was working with children with autism.

Hi!

Thanks for crashing! Always nice to hear from parents, special needs or otherwise. Everyone has their own experiences which are great to share. In what capacity did you work with children with autism? Would love to hear about it.

Thanks for the welcome - I worked with children with autism in early intervention (on ABA programmes)

Just reading "Daniel isn'tTalking" and ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) is referred to quite a lot. The author is quite positive about it. Would be interested to hear more about it, especially if it might be of help to our own children.

Hi Mschief - nice to hear from you!

Was interested to hear that your second child was undecided as yet.  Are they being investigated at the moment? Are you receiving all the help that you need? Would love to hear more!
