    Good on you for ploughing on with the diagnosis. Its not easy.

    In my case, it took 30 years to get anyone to even consider autism and in the early days I was told that I was causing my sons differences and difficulties.

    Im sure that you will find lots of people here who have gone through the same issues with diagnosis; Im no expert but I suppose that it is difficult (at 3 years old) to say how autism will affect your son in the long term; 3 year olds are going through lots of changes and some behaviours etc are just part of growing up.

    Take care.
