Hi NAS91699, In addition to the link already posted, you might want to have a look at the advice pages here on the NAS site. The advice hub has links to all our information pages about different aspects of autism - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance - and I would recommend the pages on post-diagnosis support for parents and carers - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/post-diagnosis-support/parents-and-carers - and the 'What is autism?' page in particular - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/what-is-autism Hope this is of some help, Ross - mod
