ASD diagnosis

fumble

Hi

We have just found out today that our son Dylan who will be 5 next week, has a diagnosis of ASD. While in one way I feel relief because I now know I haven't been going mad the past few years, I am very nervous and confused with what I should do. Also I wondered if any of you had any advice for us.

All the best

Deborah

  • Hi fumble,

    Just wanted to point you in the direction of our leaflet 'After diagnosis'. We're planning to revamp the post-diagnosis website sections soon as well but this will hopefully provide some useful sign posting and answer some of the questions you may have.

    You can grab the .pdf here -

    I hope that helps and as SamF suggests, do share any questions you may have right now.

  • Hi Deborah,

    Just thought Id say hello, my son was diagnosed in july this year so im only a few months ahead of you in looking into all the info out there even though my son is nearly 17. I have found this forum very good if you post any questions you have, you will get answers from a good variety of people on this forum. Just reading the other posts has been very helpfull.
