4 year old son diagnosed as autistic yesterday

peckie

First post on this site..or any. our four year old son was diagnosed as autistic  yesterday. the hand grenade was thrown, then we were given a leaflet and walked out the door. he is the youngest boy of 4  boys in the family.   They all obviously worry too so most time spent under playing how sad I feel whilst I assure everyone its fine. its not though.

  • We knew before..I cant even say it was the shock of it.just not dealing with it very well. most days Im fine.I think it was that so much has built up to that day. Hes fine, hes happy, has a great support worker/ teaching assistant at school now but its just I feel  lost and powerless and also guilty at times. I am working so hard at spinning a positive to everyone, but inside its sometimes hard to convince myself.I will though, I will join support groups, read, get informed.
