HELP son diagnosed yesterday and i dont know what to do next ???

Hi dan-mans-mum,

Hopefully other people will be able to share their experiences about what happened following diagnosis and I hope that helps.

You may also find it helpful to look at a leaflet the NAS has created called 'After diagnosis' which offers advice and information about what may happen now you've recieved a diagnosis. We're also working on including this information in the general diagnosis area but for now I hope this helps. You can download the leaflet here:
http://www.autism.org.uk/afterdiagnosis

In addition to the information in the leaflet you may also find it helpful to speak to our Autism helpline. The service is available from 10am - 4pm each weekday on 0845 070 4004.

As well as allowing you to speak about your situation they will be able to suggest other services that may be appropriate for you. These could be other organisations or other services within the NAS such as our Parent to Parent service or our Welfare Rights advisors, amongst others.

So if you'd like to call I'm sure they'd be able to support you right now as well as suggest further help.

You may also want to look for local services that could provide you advice and support. Our Autism Services Directory can help you find services close to you, if they are available.

I hope you find some of this information helpful along with comments from our other users who've been in similar situations before.
