Having mi and parenting an asd child

Having mi and parenting an asd child

Hi all,

I normally use lived experience forums and I have posted this there as well.

I have alot of mi stuff and it gets challenging being a parent but now teachers and drs believe that my Mr 6 has autism. I know what autism is like having a younger brother with it. But despite practically raising my brother it still feels daunting that he could have it.

Another issue I have is his dr talking about all the medication he should be on if he is diagnosed. I don't want him to go on medication and I don't think he needs it.

Anyone got some advice?

Re: Having mi and parenting an asd child

We can see how that can be frustrating @Former-Member, is there any way that the paediatrician can do a consult over skype or any other video chat software?

Please look after yourself with your chest infection, we hope that you have an early night and can rest over the weekend.
