This was a great post Shed some light on autism for me. I know we haven’t really spoken in years and years (and years!), but I’ve been following your site and am really proud of how you are focused on educating people about autism.

I look forward to hearing more positive news about Tristan and the family.

WOW.
What a great post.
Firstly, a shout out to Tristan – it was great to see him earlier this summer and it sounds like he is responding well to all your hard work and dedication. I’m SO proud of him!
Secondly, HUGE props to you guys. This post is amazing and VERY informative. I know that the experiences that got you here weren’t the easiest, but your perseverance and intuition is paying off. I can’t believe how much you have done in this past year. I am very honoured to be apart of your journey – even if it’s from afar!
Thirdly – give that little Maya some love for me!
Keep it up! You are a pleasure to read

Sounds like the lil’ guys doing so well
I think its so important to listen to your gut on these things, its easy to either turn a blind eye to the signs or go the other way and see a problem in every little quirk they have.
I had the opposit problem with my youngest, his speech was also delayed but my other children had also been late speakers and he had a very “helpful” older brother who would do all his talking for him lol.
I had people left right and centre telling me to go to speach therapy but I said no.
Unlike Tristan, my youngest did not start with a few words and then stop, but as he interacted well and played well and made all the right sounds I left him to develope.
When he talked he had skipped the “baby talk” stage and went right on with grown up words, and once his elder brother started school he also started to use proper sentances.
I did not hide my head in the sand though…. I did my trawling round the web on the signs of Autisum and he only ticked the one box.
But hey people always like to offer their advice huh
Anyway..good luck with the rest of his therapy and hopefuly he will continue to come on in leaps and bounds
Look forwards to hearing about it !
