Newly diagnosed - 5 year old with autism

NAS70836
over 3 years ago

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

    My grandson is in a similar situation, made worse by the schools attitude and to my daughter his is also autistic.

    sorry to hear of your situation, but reading these post tell me we are no alone, but also, sadly, the lack of understanding out there.

    take care, he knows you love home and that is so important.
