Hello my friends, I'm posting this in autistic adults because you are my friends and family.
My son also autistic had a lump (gp had insisted it was just a little fatty lump and nothing to worry about) removed from his head privately on Thursday evening. The surgeon was a little bothered when he found blood clots not fatty tissue, then went dead pale when he found a hole in sons skull. He packed it and took us to A&E.
A&E didn t believe him!!!! Eventually after a cat scascann 7 hours later they did believe and blue lighted us to st George's hospital in london.
So son has a 25 mm lytic lesion in his skull and cancer. How do I tell him? He knows about the hole, he knows it's not good but he's not got a clue about death. People die, they are meant to. He loves our cats but once they die they are gone. I don't know what to do or think it say.
I am not asking for attention or sympathy, just for advice on how to deal with this for him and for me.

Keep talking to us if it helps.
Thinking of you. So sorry things are difficult right now.
