Newly diagnosed - 5 year old with autism

NAS70836

Hi 

I'm new to all this, seeking help as I'm totally lost. My 5 year old has been diagnosed with autism, he has speech and language delay and in particular struggles with communicating with other children and initiating play but not so much adults. I want to be able to support him but I have no idea where to even start looking for ideas tips, things to try to help him not only improve the speech aspect but also socialising . Can anyone help point me in a direction of where I can find some information, and or have a child with similar traits?. 

Thanks J

  • Hi, thank you for replying it's just nice to know there are others also in the same boat. I'm also clueless as to if we're supporting him correctly and the best possible way we can. Will look into the flash cards thank you for the recommendation, just hunting down any information I possibly can. X
