On Friday the 3rd February 2017 my little super star was diagnosed with Autism.
I knew it was coming but I still cried (crazy mummy hormones) ... Not because my son is autistic but because as a parent you want your child to live the best, longest, happiest possible life they can live.
As he's only 3 years and 10 months he's on the Spectrum for Autism as we still don't know how 'normal' of a life he can lead. Be independent?! Go to a main stream school?!
So many questions and unanswerable questions are racing through my mind. Even though I've wanted this diagnosis for a long time it's still like I'm in limbo. So maybe I will back track a little bit and let you know about my little bundle of joy ❤
Jackson was born 31/03/2013 at 10:13am π£ A VERY cold Easter Sunday morning ❄️ A de-icing kinda morning (not what you need when you are basically dying and rolling around in the road) It was a SUPER quick speedy delivery of 4 hours! Literally fell head over heels in love from the moment I saw him ❤
Jackson was a normal baby, Doing everything a baby should do by all the milestones up until 1 years old π
He's always been so happy and joyful.
It wasn't until he went to nursery January 2016 where they picked up that he was very different.
I've been kinda kicking myself for ages ... How did I not pick up before last year that there was something different about my son.
Well the truth is I did know that something was not quite right but being a first time mum and actually not knowing anything about babies or children before I had Jackson I just thought maybe he was just delayed at Speech and Language. He will get there ...
I think I will always kick myself for not doing something sooner but now we have the diagnosis I know that Jacksons care is going in the right direction ππΌπ We have so many amazing people involved right now! I'm so grateful π¦πΌ
I'm going to blog daily about Jackson's day to day life now and before the diagnosis. It will be nice for me to reach out to parents in the same situation and also write about what's happening to help myself ππ¦πΌ Friday 3rd February was a BIG day!
I'm still processing everything in my mind and coming to terms with it. But I do know that I am going to make Jacksons life the best I can impossibly make it! He is my little superstar and every single day he makes my life worth living.
Thank you for reading π I hope you continue to join us on our journey,
Kelly and Jackson
