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

Jazz

My 3 year old son was diagnosed with Autism a week ago and I'm feeling very low and need someone to talk to. I have booked myself on an "after diagnosis" meeting, but this isn't till April and I feel the need for help and advice right now. Can anybody help my worried thoughts???

    HFA is the same thing as Aspergers, the people that classify diseases have decided that Aspergers isn't a disorder in its own right, it is just a type of autism. The High functioning bit means that the person is of normal or higher intelligence.

    Many people with autism (High or low functioning) also have other issues such as late development of speech, behaviour problems or other issues.
