Hi,

My Name is Emma and my wonderful amazing little boy aged 4 had recently been diagnosed with a significant social communication disorder. After lots of reading and research i feel that he is on the spectrum but finding it very hard to get a "formal diagnosis" and thus finding it hard to get any support for him! Sorry if this sounds like im feeling a bit sorry for ourselves! Still realing a little from this news.

Look forward to chatting x :)

I'm glad you're here. Be gentle on yourself. It takes a while to get over the shock.
