Hi
I've mentioned about one of my little mindees on a previous thread, but I need some advice please.
I think this little one may have some sort of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (apologies if i've worded this incorrectly).
After the first couple of months of minding him, I knew that there wasn't something quite right. What I now need to know is how do I go forward, I think, well I know that mum is unaware of there being a problem (he is there first child) he's had hearing tests and his hearing isn't too good, but I think parents are putting down some of behaviour to this. But there are a lot of other areas of his behaviour that give me concern, these have been mentioned to parent's, but I get very odd responses from them.
I feel as though I'd be just sitting back if I don't do anything, but I don't know what my next step would be, shall I talk to my Childminding Support Officer, Health Visitor. I don't want to be a 'Childminder' that didn't do anything.
Please your advice would be really appreciated.
