You are the best judge though, so go with your gut:) Would love if you posted more about this over the next few months, give some of us tips:) JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04057803269417950110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447557484486456100.post-84693327694366454292010-01-11T14:19:59.224-08:002010-01-11T14:19:59.224-08:00Love your post.

There's no rush, as long as you're happy with where he is at the moment. <br />A diagnosis of autism flings us on a path that is almost unrecognisable...but as you may have noticed, it can bring out strengths (as well as weaknesses)that you never knew you had. Can't wait for your next post xxxJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090661112868706267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447557484486456100.post-1661364672456599692010-01-11T13:42:29.970-08:002010-01-11T13:42:29.970-08:00really great blog,

It takes a long while to adapt to living with ASD- you sound like you're doing a really great job! It seems like you're bombarded with so much information and decisions to take at the beginning, while you still haven't really got your head round it- I think you're right to let the future f'off for a while!!!<br /><br />RachelxRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198349434513939794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447557484486456100.post-64482269675544414072010-01-11T05:01:54.136-08:002010-01-11T05:01:54.136-08:00Great post Sal, we too had the dilemma of school h...Great post Sal, we too had the dilemma of school hitting us in the face way before our little man was ready for it, I wanted him to go but I knew in my heart it would be at least another year before it became a realistic goal for him. Fast forward one year and school is a reality and one that for the time being he is loving, he has a fulltime sna in mainstream and is very happy there. Hopefully your little man will get there too and finds the right place to fulfil his potential. Just stay in the present and let the future take care of itself for now. xxAndrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01309277256039659592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447557484486456100.post-33925655995539738032010-01-11T04:34:24.169-08:002010-01-11T04:34:24.169-08:00Hi Sal, I have been there and done that! I totally...Hi Sal, I have been there and done that! I totally understand where you are coming from. When it was time for Griffin to move forward and make the transition out of preschool, neither one of us were ready. But.....since he was in an autism classroom for preschool and transitioning into an autism 1st grade it did make things much more tolerable. Had it not been specifically an autism classroom then I would have said firmly NO!<br /><br />I say, follow your instincts, as it seems that you are and things will go just fine. Only you know what is best....I believe that will all my heart. Many mothers doubt themselves but I fully support moms following their gut.<br /><br />Great post Sal! I always look forward to more!Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566410028761708698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1447557484486456100.post-9805157042013883862010-01-11T04:25:09.695-08:002010-01-11T04:25:09.695-08:00Lovely post xx.

It's not what we planned for or hoped for, but it is what it is! Well done Matthew, for achieving all you have, and well done Sal for being his voice xxTazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095213147043472257noreply@blogger.com
