My Son´s Story

I´ve decided to share some information about my pregnancy and experiences with my son as a baby and toddler. As parents we are always looking for reasons why and how our children have A.S. We compare notes and explore details. Looking back now, and with the experience of raising a second child, I can now see signs of something not quite typical in my son´s development compared to other children. At the time it is very hard to know for sure, and if it is your first-born, like me, you don´t have a very good yardstick or experience to go by.

Health professionals are not always aware of the signs either, maybe because A.S. is not seen that often, their reluctance to diagnose early in childhood for fear of "labelling" or misdiagnosis, or our children just slip through the safety net of health check-ups.
