Can I ask a question about this subject? A friend of mine has a 4 year old son who has a lot of issues - he stares constantly (even if you wave your hand in front of his face he won't look away), he is quite violent (he split his mums lip by hitting her, not just flailing his arms), he swears a lot and if he doesn't get his own way he has terrible screaming tantrums, far worse than 'normal' tantrums.
Does this sound like autism? 2 of his uncles are autistic, but I don't know if it runs in families.
I hope you don't mind me asking, and good luck on Friday Skint. You are both doing a fantastic job and I really admire both of you.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present - a gift to make the most of.
