Elodie

Friday 23rd Jan
My little Elodie was born a perfect height and weight, and with a normal delivery. 

Soon after she became around 14 months we started to notice signs that Elodie may or may not be on the spectrum. We noticed stimming, walking on tip toes, saying her first words and then nothing at all and being non-verbal until she was three years old. She would have heightened, overwhelming moments, not understand the dangerous situations of daily life, (cars, roads, windows). She would mask continuously and then hit her low time. When I say low time, (I mean overwhelming environments, fear and the struggle of ‘acting normal!’).  She would simply breakdown, act or lash out. Truth is there is no normal. She would have what we only knew back then as “meltdowns”, she hated and still hates crowds, birthdays, and gatherings. She would breakdown and need calm/sensory play. Her safe space. Her safe people. Although she is now verbal, and since been diagnosed with PDA and ADHD, she goes on about her day to da. She masks at mainstream school where she is taught to conform! She is left to play singly out of choice of her own sometimes, being overwhelmed or feeling that she doesn’t fit in. We often get “I’m not normal”, “I’m not the same”, “I have emotions I don’t understand!”. The battle for anyone and especially as a parent to get people to listen is frankly, a challenge. It brings you to tears, that nothing or nobody is helping your baby. 

There are tears most days. Sensory overload and masking most days. There are also days where I need to be lead just by Elodie and what makes her feel safe, secure and noticed. Because she survives most days in a world where she is not feeling that until she gets home. 

But above all, the lack of funding and education around Autism is poor. We need re-educating. Our babies are very special in ways that are bigger than they can ever understand and Elodie will always know she is loved beyond measure. 

I’m her biggest advocate and this will be a challenge for mummy, but nothing she doesn’t do or cope with on a daily basis!
