'Mornin all. my Tino is 11yrs old today. He's having a holiday birthday and bouncing round the bedroom #tooearly sending love,' the doting mum posted on the big day, before adding that her son's autism diagnosis meant some challenges.
'The birthday boy has had tantrum and tears he's over it now but I'm not quite yet ! #autism,' she explained adding: 'last few b'days have been the sameWe have to play it down.Cake no singing no candles. & God help us if the pressie isn't quite right #autism.'
Melanie has been open about Tino's autism in order to raise awareness of the condition, with the star first revealing her son's diagnosis three years ago. Last spring she opened up about her experience of parenting a child with autism during an appearance on ITV's Daybreak.

'There are issues such as judging from other people. Tino looks like a normal child but if he gets overloaded - if in a restaurant there is too much music, or the clatter of cutlery, he will have to get up and hop about,' she explained.
The star added that she is trying to raise awareness of autistic behaviour so the public can identify it.
She said: 'How many times do you see a child have a proper tantrum? You have to look at it and think "that is probably autism". They [people with autism] are very sensitive people. And they are very fun. Tino makes me laugh on a daily basis. He has no filter - he just says it how it is. He is a real character, a real joy.
