Sen mama friends🧩

Hiya I have a 2 year old girl with Pica and we are in process aswell to getting her diagnosed with autism :) I'm from Wales zx

I have 7year old boy diagnosed with autism and CAS. A 5yr old who is possibly ADHD and a 22 month old girl who seems NT but being a neurospicy family we will be keeping a close eye on her as she develops

Hiya my little boy just turned two on Monday and we are in the process of getting him diagnosed from Scotland x

I have a 3 year old just been diagnosed☺️ if you ever need a chat just give me a shout! Xxx

Hiya love! I use to live in wales a few years ago I moved back to Manchester because I missed the city life but now I’m back here I miss wales 😂 awww it usually comes hand in hand autism and pica. His fave atm is eating books🫠 xx

I will give you a message x

aww bless you sweetheart it’s very hard but we’re strong x

how long is the wait do you know? I’ve heard Scotland is really good at getting a diagnoses… I have an 18 month wait but getting his in speech therapy and physio in the meantime as he’s non verbal 🫶

aww thank you lovely! Same to you🫶🧩

Our 3 year old is currently on the pathway for a diagnosis. She is very much crazy 😂 iv been told it's 4 years on the waiting list where I am in Scotland 😢 we are also seeing similar traits in our 2 year old, so all fun and games 😂 xx

Hi feel free to message me for my number, I’ve got 3 year old twins who are autistic xx

oh no 4 years?? That’s madness! Ahaha I love the chaos but it’s hardwork xx

we were told 2 years ,Tommy does say a few words but not in context so trying to push for speech therapy

yeah my Roman says mama, dadad and nanan but it’s not directed at anyone I think it could just be babbling. He has said a couple things in the past like “cow, moo” but he says it once and never said it again no matter how much we try x

I know. Its such a long time, we moved recently and it was 2 years but the new county is 4 😢 xx

oh flipping heck! I was told the waiting times is because of the back log from Covid, romans been referred to speech therapy and physio and also something called rhosie which I think is some sort of playgroup for kids on the spectrum that find it difficult to communicate x

Hey I have a little boy who's 4 In August, who's severely autistic, ADHD , and non verbal hes also on the path of being diagnosed, although back logged so he won't be fully diagnosed until he is 6 years old 😩😪 it's hard work , and exhausting. And the meltdowns are draining and scary 😨

you’ve got this mama 🧩♥️ always here for a chinwag just drop me a message if you want too x

Lol feral..that's hilarious. My son pretends to be Mowgli from jungle book and eats ants. Feral is spot on lmao

I have a 2 year old little boy who is on the waiting list for a diagnosis for ASD, he has pica and also non verbal, Norfolk x

awww honestly how do I explain to other children and parents why my sons eating grass and swinging off peoples necks🤦🏻‍♀️😂

hi lovely I’ll message you x

have replied back x

I have a 9 year old with autism and a 3 year old on the pathway for an assessment! The waits are long but a diagnosis doesn’t change your child so please try not to get disheartened by the long wait! I have been through it once so maybe it’s a little easier for me the second time around so if any of you need any help or support or just to rant/moan as I know it’s not easy I’m more than happy for you to reach out! I don’t know it all but I’m happy to help where I can❤️

Hi 👋 my youngest is audhd I'm audhd myself late diagnosed but understand the lack of support from others who don't understand

We got an diagnosis in jan for our little boy who’s 4 I feel like as soon as you get the diagnosis you kind of then just get left and feel alone in the process we have now got his EHCP aswell and he’s going to school in sept which I’m absolutely dreading as it’s mainstream as he couldn’t get into a specialist one. Just not enough schools for our babies to attend who need more support it’s shocking!😢😩 x

hi Hayley I’ll drop you a message x

Hello, my son turned 5 last month and he got his diagnoses at age 3 but honestly I wish I could say it changed anything, with or without the diagnoses, the struggle still remains.

Ladies, my advice would be to not wait around for a diagnoses or speech and language to see you. Please if you are able to ( I know times are hard for everyone) please hire a private speech and language therapist! I have learned so much from mine, she helps and guides me and my son absolutely loves her! Some of you may or may what not be aware of this therapy, but I had gone the ABA therapy route, but that did not work for us, it took a toll on my son, he stopped engaging all together and would cry for hours if we tried to do an activity together. I am praying for all of you, you got this ♥️

oh no! This is what I’m scared of… my son needs extra supervision and care. He has no fear or sense of danger, non verbal etc and this is one of fears x

Just to add- my son does have the EHCP and he’s in a ASD unit at a mainstream school from September, the unit is great, it’s quiet has lots of space and has a sensory room so it does look promising, however I don’t believe that the schools in the UK are equipped to know how to deal with our SEN children. I know they say, they are trained, but I still do not believe that I will ever find a place for him where he will be fully understood 😞
