    My son is 15 and he is autistic. He was diagnosed at 2 although he was almost 5 before we received an official diagnoses and it was almost another 2 years before he was placed in a school.

    It was something that was barely know about and certainly not spoken about in Ireland back then. I found myself having to explain to people all the time what it meant and it was many, many years before I convinced certain family members this wasn't something he would simply grow out of. The doctors said I was one step ahead of most parents because I knew what autism is.

    Sadly in Ireland we are taking a step backward and the government are pulling back on funding and no longer officially recognizing some children as requiring extra care.

    I am extremely grateful to you and the other blogs taking part in this hop and Autism awareness month.
