On other threads I have mentioned my worry that my Grandson might be on the spectrum. I have looked after him for the last couple of years for a couple of days a week and various things have concerned me but his last of speech as he heads for his 3rd Birthday has been the most worrying. He finally had his assessment last week and they confirmed he has autism. Obviously there is a mixture of relief that we know what we are dealing with it (sounds like there is a lot of support being put in place) and grief that he is afflicted with this. However, the hardest part of it was his parents were absolutely unaware that this was even a possibility and were completely shocked. I had said some things about my concerns but they had always been quick to dismiss them so I thought they didn't want to see but talking to my DS, he really hadn't connected the dots and didn't even realise what the assessment was for apart from the speech delay. He has looked back at what things I'd said that he'd dismissed and wondered why I didn't sit him down to tell him in words of one syllable. I feel bad for him but wonder if I had told him straight whether he would have just worried for longer. He also feels quite betrayed and very stupid because everybody he has told (like his siblings) have all said that they had wondered. On the other hand he is relieved that everybody has been so kind. I just feel so helpless at the moment.
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
