for any of my friends who follow me on facebook will already know that my youngest son has now been given the diagnosis by the COMPLEX DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER TEAM of ~ AUTISM SPECRUM DISORDER ~it has taken 2 years of many , many tests and many more meetings for Lewis to get this diagnosis... so i now have both my boys under the autistic umbrella... i hope now Lewis will get the support he needs to get him through the day at school ~ academically he is fine and above his age group... so it just the changes,the unexpected and just those little things he finds very difficult to cope with....and sometimes just getting him into school in the morning.
