Recent diagnosis

clairem

My almost 4 year old son has recently been diagnosed with core autism, im currently struggling to understand what this will mean for him, We have been referred to earlydays and occupational therapy, but im still not really sure where we go now that we have had the disgnosis, the doctor we have seen was really helpful, but im feeling rather confused as to what will happen now. He is currrently in mainstream nursery however im unsure if he will be able to continue there after july as he will be expected to go full time there and im not convinced he will be able to cope with full time school at the moment, any advice would be greatly appreciated! :-)

  • Hello,

    i have a son who is 17and the week before his birthday I received a letter from his college to say he had autistic tendencies and that he needed to be seen by a psychologist. I am upset, angry and confused as there has been no suggestion of this before now from any of the schools he has been to, he has just gotten himself a job with no problem and recently I was informed by the college I did not need to attend an open night as there was no problems. Should I while I wait to see the psychologist go to my gp and ask for a second opinion, so wait and see if there is a problem first. I am worried it may affect his ability to cope with his new job and cope with college, but also angry that if he does have these tendenicies could he have had more help and support through out his years at school. Any help or advice appreciated.
