What made me think my son is Autistic?
This is the day that he put slime in his hair, not because he is Autistic just because he is daft! Fun times 😳 I often get asked what made me think that Ethan was on the spectrum. Some people are just genuinely interested, others have concerns about a child of their own and then … Continue reading What made me think my son is Autistic?
To Test Or Not To Test? That Is The Question
Currently there is some paperwork attached to my boiler with a natty magnet which says something about chunky dunking instead of skinny dipping!

Sequins And Harvest Festival
