9Yr Old finally diagnosed

Hi everyone,

My boy is 9 and has just been dianosed with ASD its taken a long time for Drs to actually listen to us.

Now we have the dianosis I am actually a little overwhelmed, we knew that our boy wasnt just naughty as the school and Drs kept telling us. I'm a little lost as to where to turn now Ive read books and websites but my mind can't take everything in!

Has anyone else had this experience ??

  • Hi, my 8 yr old son was diagnosed this week too. After many years of trying to be heard by many different professionals. I was totally expecting this diagnosis but i must admit I am feeling very emotional about it. And I haven't a clue what is supposed to happen next! Totally overwhelming and feeling every emotion this wk. just want to get things in place now but have no idea what them things are!
