Just Diagnosed

Hi, my 4 year old son has just been diagnosed today with Autism and ADHD. I feel so sad, I know it could be so much worse, but I know very little about the condition and I just worry so much for his future. This website looks amazing and I hope it'll help put my mind at rest, just such a lot to get my head around x

  • Thank you so much, it's so lovely to hear from someone who truly understands. When I rang to tell our family and friends last night, everyone just kept saying "oh well, now we know whats wrong we can get on and deal with it," or, "well it could have been a lot worse!!" I didn't know how to say that I felt the same as you that I feel like I'm grieving. Thank you again for your lovely message, I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that we will learn how to help our Son have as normal a life as he can xx
