guess i should introduce my self im Dee im the tattooed mumma of two gorgeous kids one who has special needs my gorgeous red headed 5 year old son has autism and my beautiful full of beans 2 year old daughter (http://www.autismspectrum.org.au/a2i1i1l237l113/what-is-autism.htm)
he was diagnosed at 2 years 9 mnths just before i gave birth to my daughter
he was a perfect pregnancy and birth he was born at 40 weeks +10 days
beautiful little man who never slept a night through till he was 3 years old
He didn't say his first word till he was 3 years old
first bit of eye contact at 2 years 10 mnths
toilet trained at 4 years ( wee)
we have our good and bad days the bad days mainly out way the good
strict routine takes over the house
i liken it to having twin 2 year old's as his social and play skills are that of a two year old
meltdowns occur over anything and everything
he has a totaly different pain tolerance to us and sometimes i don't know hes hurt till hes either really sick or its visual
he has phases of food prefrances too some times its only white foods others orange some times just fruit others only baked beans
life certainly isn't dull
and we love him to pieces
but its a roller coaster ride and some days you want off to go hide under your blankets and cry your eyes out
being a single parent with a child with special needs also is hard i dont have someone to cry too when life throws me a curve ball in the middle of a stressfull day no one to hug me when im down and had enough
but i do surround myself with beautiful ladies who make my life that much brighter and worth while i also have friends that know just how to cheer me up when im down
Blogging about my life and how i live it as a single tattooed mum of two kids one with special needs
