My name is Tanya and I am the mother of 2 children ages 5 (daughter) and 3 1/2 (son). My 3 1/2 year old son was diagnosed in March of this year - the same month we were told my Mother's cancer had come back and it was terminal. It has been a very emotional and challenging year for me and I'm definitely looking forward to next year.

I am a 38 year old married mam to 4 lovely children , I have 2 girls & 2 boys , my girls are aged 9 & 4 , my 4 year old will be 5 on the 6th June she has challenging behaviour & is like a jeckyll & hide can be nice one minute & lashing out the next minute .My 2 boys are aged 8 & 6 they have both seen the OT for their first assessment for dyspraxia & she says they have dyspraxia , she is going to see my boys in their schools tomorrow to assess them in school too.
My 6 year old is also under CAMHS & Physiotherapist .Under CAMHS he has had the conners assessment done , he is also going to assess my son in school too. Today my son saw the physiotherapist for assessjment she says he definetely has problems with balance & is wanting to do an assessment at school when he has pe , the OT , CAMHS & Physiotherapist all say he has autistic traits now they just want to see where he fits in the autistic spectrum .
I would like to make friends with other parents on here , my son is also in & out of hospital for his bowels as he has chronic constipation he has been on laxatives since he was 3 months old ,he soils alot , but he also does wees & poos in the toilet , he does not always feel the sensation of when he needs to go. Does any other children have problems with their bowels.
Thank you for listening to me .
