newbie from Braintree

#1 Unread post by danielle » Fri Jan 23, 2009 3:58 pm

Hello everyone!
I got reffered here by Weezypops after I posted on another forum looking for company :oops:
My name's Danielle, I'm 24, I have two children, Jordan who is 6, he has autism and ADHD, and Brooke who is 4.
I'm fairly new to Braintree, and don't know hardly anyone, this is gonna sounds strange, but I wonder if its because of my sons disabilitys, maybe other parents think its contagious or something :lol:
anyway just thought I would come and say hi :D

Hi Danielle, glad you came to look. I'm Louise, I'm 30 and I live in Westcliff with my husband Kester and our 18 month old son, Felix. We have another on the way - a girl due in April.

I'm sorry you've found that with other parents, I'd have thought that things like Autism were so well known now it wouldn't be an issue, but clearly not!

Hi Danielle!
Welcome to Essex Mums. I'm Nikki, 24 from Brentwood and mummy to Isabelle who is 2. I have family in Great Notley in Braintree, are you anywhere near there? Look forward to getting to know you, sorry to hear that other mums haven't been so friendly where you are, its amazing how people behave when they don't understand something.

Hi Danielle and welcome to you, Jordan and Brooke. I'm Jackie and I have 3 children, Rebecca (12) Mollie (6) and Jake (3). I am living on my own with the children but have a lovely OH,Tony who also has 2 children Frankie (10) and Alfie (4). Frankie has ADHD and OH found that he was treated the same in the early days, but now there seems to be more of an awareness about it, peoples attitudes have changed. Just hold on in there, you will find people who are completely understanding, and until then you have us.
Hope to see you posting on here x x x x

Hi Danielle

welcome to Essex Mums! I'm Charlotte and I live in Braintree. I'm 33, married to Martin and we're proud parents to Poppy who is 3. Whereabouts in Braintree do you live? When did Brooke turn 4? I only ask because Poppy is 4 in July. My sil's son is also autistic, he's 11 and was formally diagnosed about 5-6 years ago. How severe is it with Jordan because James is at "normal" (for want of a better word) primary school and has a LSA sit with him in every lesson. Anyway, I've rambled on enough and once again welcome to the site!
