For everyone that has a young child w autism and then had another baby, how did your child react and do w the new baby? Would you say it had a positive effect on the child or difficult for a bit? Also how hard was it to deal w your child's issues on top of the care of a new baby?
probably the hardest part of a new baby is watching how effortlessly the baby learns things that our son has to work and work at. We have an older daughter as well and it is lovely to see how much the baby loves both of them and takes each just how they are. Even though our son is non verbal with limited play skills.
That's good to know:) Thanks @A MyAutismTeam Member
BTW Nathaniel was very good with Gabriela as well, who is 4 yrs younger than he. They have been best buds all her life.
We have 5... 1-3 are HF Autistics, with 2 having most difficulty. 5 was born April 2014 and 2 (who was 8) threatened to run away but has actually been the best with the baby. He gets upset but is the most protective and careful with Alexander. Of course, Nathaniel still has his days and I have to watch him, but he did adjust and now loves his little brother.
Thank you @A MyAutismTeam Member and @A MyAutismTeam Member for your input:) One day at a time will be my approach lol.
