Hi, I have an 11yr old who has Autism, a 6 year old with ADHD and all 3 of mine have speach and language problems. My eldest son and my daughter both have statements of SEN at school because of moderate learning difficulties and now they're on about giving my youngest a statement of SEN now as well.

That must be hard.

I don't know about the UK but here they have centers where people are specially trained on how to deal with and educate kids with autism. They do wonders!

my middle child has special needs, i think the key is to get support - local support groups, befriending groups and so on. try to make some time for yourself too so you can chill occasionally.

Both my children, 9 & 7 are under SEN at school, took it on the chin with my eldest but could've cried when they said my boy needed help! Over it now, if thats what needs to be done then they know best. just find it hard sometimes as my friend's children all seem to sail through school
