Update on us :)
Still pregnant 'woooooo' past 24weeks so viable which is great but I've still not told everyone and still cautious!
Zachariah had a neurology appt and we're being referred on just to check out autism. He's very social, loving and sensitive to feelings but he's also minimal if any eye contact (hmmm may ignore that reason !) still not speaking, likes routine, distraught if something out of place, loves repetetiveness, a bit OCD I guess etc, so they felt they couldn't ignore it all jic. I'm not worried either way as long as he gets help he needs. They felt referring him on would strengthen his chances for getting statemented too which would be good as I'm very worried about him being shoved in a corner at school.
He's still a very clingy child and I just wish I could just hand the independence he so desperately needs over to him but hopefully it will come in time.
Hope everyone else and their Los are doing well x

Sounds like they Are being really supportive for zachariah will really help him long term if they discover something as a result early on. Much love to you all ! xxx

As for Zachariah, it's best to get things moving sooner than later and if it's any consolation, Gracie is very clingy too. At least now we're both at home she does go to Chez too, but it's mainly mummy she wants!
Take care and try to relax x
Great that Zachariah is getting looked out for and that they are going to give him whatever support he needs. I guess he will get there with the clingy bit. Elijah is very clingy to me lately but is independent in lots of ways too. Im sure he'll get better with being clingy.
Lots of chilling for you i hope! xxx
Good you are getting Zachariah checked out, fingers crossed all is ok. xxxx
with zachariah - i think it'll be good just to get some answers as you may then beable to help him with some things that you cant now!
Zachariah's just lovely, I just wish he would talk as I know it's frustrating for him and I'm just concerned about how long the 'delay' will be grrr! Never mind- at least I know I've done my best to get as much help as possible
