00:00I was reading, so was your gorgeous three-year-old son, Sid.
00:03He's having a massive impact.
00:04Yeah, Sid has autism.
00:07Is that just recently diagnosed?
00:10Yeah, he's three.
00:12You can't legally diagnose it until you're two and a half.
00:14Hey!
00:15Hey!
00:17Look.
00:17Isn't he cute?
00:18He looks like his mum.
00:19Look at him, look at him, look.
00:21So you can't legally diagnose it in this country
00:23until he's two and a half.
00:24Right.
00:25But we knew, at about a year old, that we had some issues.
00:30So...
00:30What were they?
00:31What were the signs?
00:31Yeah, look, this might not be true, but for us,
00:35and we found out that this is a key,
00:37he wasn't answering to his name.
00:40If they don't answer, he wasn't playing peekaboo.
00:43He was walking and running around,
00:45but he's got autism and he's got something called
00:48global development delay as well.
00:51So he's not speaking.
00:53But he is lovely.
