My 3 year old son has just been diagnosed with Autism.....my head is all over the place

Jazz my son is exactley the same non verble just babbles a lot he screams he will laugh he wiil cry going out to places like shopping malls are a big no no for my boy it took me some time to understand why and I've since learnt he has a lot of sensory issues so going in and out of different shops he can not understand as its not what we normally do if you think about it your in one shop lots going on different noises different sounds and smells go in to another it's completly different so I try not to go and look round shops with my son as its just too much and causes to much stress on him food shopping he likes as he stands in the trolley and he likes to help me so I pass him the items he places them in the trolley and at the end he will help pass them on the conveyer belt his a funny little boy but it's routine he understands what we doing I have found taking pictures on my phone creating an album in his name and I take photos of people like family or friends and also of places where we are. visting  so he understands so for example I took a picture of the shopping trolley with food in before we go out I show him that picture and say we are going shopping so it helps him understand also I've found giving a five second warning when something is about to Finnish like in five seconds time it's time to get out of the bath then count down from five and say finished this has been a massive help although we still get tears and tantrums but it does help I have experienced people out in public unfourtuntly there are small minded people out there if it was me I think I would have lost it and had a go back that person but on the other hand i also have had to really keep my cool as I don't want my son to see mummy getting angry it is hard when you come across people like that I've had it from family members too it is hurtful when people say things but then I just sit back and smile I'm a great believer in karma haha when your taking your son out I don't know if he has a favourite toy maybey he can hold whilst your out and about I give my son one of his Thomas engines one of the small ones to hold as it helps to distract him hope this helps x
