Feeling lost and don't know where to start!

Online

My 9 year old son has just been diagnosed with ASD after 2 and a half years. Now I have the diagnosis I am not sure what to do or where to go with this.

I have spoken to his school, who originally told me that they thought he needed testing and they have a senco teacher and educational pyschiatrist coming in to look at his educational needs.

I am struggling to know how to deal with things at home. Generally he is a lovely child, he doesn't have a good memory and has issues surrounding loud noises, textures of food, cannot sit still and lack of eye contact. 

I want to know how I can help him and to understand the behaviours he displays. Does anyone have any ideas / suggestions to help?

Thanks

Parents
