Hi there!

My name is Lisa, I'm 35 and I have one beautiful little girl who is 5, almost 6 and very excited about her birthday. I'm also 23 weeks pregnant and we have another little girl on the way which is very exciting.
My little girl has been diagnosed with ASD and is very high functioning and loves school. I'm very proud of the progress she has made over the last 1.5 years. We were accepted into a special program which involved inhome help for 1 year, so I resigned from my job and stayed home to help her and it was the best decision I ever made.

I'm not sure what else to say right now, but I've been checking out the boards and it looks like a great place to be. I look forward to getting to know you!

Lisa

Welcome Lisa!

My little boy is 5, 6 in August, and he also has autism spectrum disorder (high functioning).

If you'd like to chat to other ladies who have children with ASD and other developmental delays, we have a lovely, supportive and helpful group on the Children with Developmental Delays and Disorders board - the link is in my signature. You'd be very welcome to join us!

Hopefully see you around! I'm Sharron, btw, I'm 36, from the UK and my little lad's name is Daniel.

I'm expecting my 2nd as well, though you're a lot further on than I am!
