My Wee woman Emma was born in march 09 @ 6 weeks prem, Things where not good from get go, Emma had to have 9 ops in the 1st 2 weeks of her wee tiny life and was on life support for first 3 weeks but she never give up fought hard and got through it @ 2 months old we finally got her home, it was the best day of my life, Emma was always behind in her milestones from crawling to walking we had put this down to being prem and the wee start she had in life.Emma was a very smiley love-able baby we continued with more appointments then found out she needed to wear a hearing aid in one ear and a vent in another, I was still convinced there was something else going on as Emma never spoke and tended to play with the same objects continually lining them up in the same order. In April 2012 we Had her tested for autism, within 20 mins of walking in we where told Emma Has severe Autism, i wasnt annoyed a tiny bit upset as i was expecting it, if im to b honest it was a relieve as i now knew the proper people can help me and most of all help Emma. At present Emma is comin 5 in march this year she is still non-verbal has many melt downs, still in diapers but i love her so much dont get me wrong its hard and exhausting most of the time but i have to say im the proudest autism mom ever and together my princess,myself and her daddy will conquer the Autism world. In My opinion all u Autism moms and dads out there r special and r blessed with the most beautiful children in the world... xxxxxx
