Well our little ausome afternoon at Granny Rosie’s couldn’t have gone any better. Even the weather cooperated! Both parents and kiddos had an absolute ball. Huge thanks to Matt and Matthew (best tour guide ever and a complete natural with our chaps!) for making our visit so relaxed and autism friendly. It’s rare that we as parents get to enjoy the days out ourselves so it was massively appreciated. The hot chocolates and coffees were very much appreciated. Can’t wait for our next visit. The kids have already said they can’t wait to go again Granny Rosie’s Farm thank you again ♥️

Hey folks Anne here as its WAAD heres my gorgeous boy C**t! 💙
At 18 month Public health nurse referred C**t for speech therapy, fast forward a few months we got our batch of much needed speech therapy so we rocked down to health centre for our session! The therapist just observed him for a few minutes then dropped the bombshell out of no where he was showing flags for autism,I knew from 9 months he wasnt meeting his milestones like my previous 2 children but i passed it off to him being lazy🤣
Also he d no behavioural issues either but as time went on it became obvious, and ya know people are talking about him but afraid to say, as a mammy ya tend to blame yourself too! So we were referred for Early intervention and he was finally diagnosed at 3, it's all so overwhelming and once EIT team knew I was An SNA I was more or less left to do it all! Sent on a few courses but left to initiate c**t to the pecs programme between us at home and my hand picked sna for him in Montessori Sarah we broke down the frustration of a non verbal child who could now communicate with us made a huge difference, also he done a full year in seolta preschool skerries which I highly recommend go above and beyond for their kids just pity their wasnt a primary unit here in skerries he could attend for his education, the crathors to travel an hour each way a day to Drogheda for school, but he loves the bus and school and will do primary and secondary too! Now All I need is for him to receive his services in school like his peers anyway another fight to fight!
Anyway this is our beautiful boy who is that lazy at times but works hard in school and his therapies, marches to the beat of his own drum, sings more than he talks, but we're all so proud of this boy, hes come so far and just keeps surprising us and will continue to do so! 💙
Just to add I would have being lost without snowflakes autism support, remember us and social stars and our private speech therapist mairead who travels from tipperary once a month, my fellow autism mammys iv had the pleasure to meet good friends and family! All of you encouraged me and showed light at the end of the tunnel I see you much love, ah sure keep er lit!
