My Journey part 3 Let's have a #coffee! Have you ever questioned your hearing? For the next few months, I was walking around like a zombie, wondering what to do. It didn't help that my NCT buddies were tied up with their new borns. I confided in friends and so called family. I knew he was struggling with stomach ache, a condition we were trying to manage since we was 11 months old. One family member told me to slap him round the head otherwise I will not be able to control him when he hits the teens. She was serious too! It's all your #fault, the other one said. I keep telling people you never let him cry. You should! I thought that was unfair, In fact he often screamed for 3 hours before every P00! How would you feel if someone you knew all your life said that to you? Wouldn't you feel alone? I felt devastated. I could not believe my ears! I didn't want to hit my 3 year old! That was the last time I would count on them! Then one day an old #acquaintance called and invited herself round, she said: " I saw you in Tescos, I wanted to come over and say Hi but you were zooming by with the trolley. My gummy leg could not keep up with you! Funny to think of zoom in any other context don't you think? She proceeded to say: "I saw your son was spinning something! You know something is wrong with him. Don't you? He is #autistic, just like my ex husband, I have been on lots of #courses. I know the signs! Just like so and so's husband. Don't you remember how he behaved at our last get together? He should go get diagnosed! Their son's the same and he got help. Talk to her she can #guide you. So I decided to seek #advice from our mutual friend. After all she did have first hand #experience of this, at a whole new level. Link to the series
