I’m disappointed, but not entirely surprised that you’ve been let down by the “system”.
But you have some great advice and inspiration for others.

We all love this child, thankyou for your courage.

I had a very poor HV, severe pnd and Jack was eventually diagnosed at 3 with moderate autism although I had raised concerns from his earliest days.Five years after Jack's diagnosis I had Lucy, I had a good GP and knew the system and Lucy was diagnosed with autism on her second birthday. <br /> I embrace their autism and am so glad that they are mine, very few people realise that when I stop and think my heart breaks knowing that Jack won't ever lead an independent life and Lucy's future is uncertain.
