4 year old son diagnosed as autistic yesterday

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.
