Twins with Autisim

[Rainbow Girl]

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all

I thought I'd introduce myself, I'm a mum to 4 gorgeous children. Twin girls aged 6 and one boy aged 8 soon to be 9 and a 23 year old son. My twin girls were diagnosed with Autism when they were 4 years old though one is more likely to be more Aspergers than autistic.

Speech delay one worse than the other and fine motor skills, one still in nappies and both very visual learners.

Both are being mainstreamed into school at the moment and seem to be coping well, we have good days and bad days as I'm sure you all well know

Any ways I just wanted to say hi and I'll look forward to catching up and getting to know everyone

Is it usually this quiet around here? I don't want to get my hopes up in the hope of talking to others with this if this is not an active thread, so can someone shed some light on whether or not this is active or fairly inactive other wise I'm gonna be popping in every day to just get more disappointed when no one replies :o(

Hi, and welcome. Just out of curiosity, are they identical or fraternal twins?

 

[Rainbow Girl]

They are fraternal, born 35 weeks and weighed just under 4 pounds or 1880 grams each no dramas with there prematurity, they had to stay in Nicu for a little while just to regulate to the temperature's.
