My boy yet to be diagnosed and still in shock

Well, I forgot all about my comment posted on here. My son is now 2 1/2 and thought I'd give an update. He was diagnosed with Autism earlier this month after having an assessment, and he has just started going to a special nursery part-time, which he loves! I was upset at the diagnosis but had already had loads of time to come to terms with it over the past year, so wasn't too bad. We have been through some difficult moments, bad tantrums and so on, but he is showing signs of improvement. He cannot communicate through speech still and this is to be worked on, but he is saying some words, knows what things are called and can point to what he wants. He has finally mastered walking, though sometimes a little clumsy! He seems to trust me a little more in new and confusing situations and doesn't blind panic. He has become very clingy to me and usually needs to know where I am. Going to work in the morning just devastates him! :( He is more affectionate now already and will come up and give my legs a big bear hug or will lean in for a kiss on his head. He has also developed a wicked mischeviousness about him. He loves to laugh, play and be read books to. His obsession is with numbers. He can count to 30 and type beyond that on the computer. He plays games on my mobile phone. His eating has become difficult and he'll only eat certain things that he knows he likes. New things are not taken so well. But I love him more than anything in this world and he's my little angel. It is only other people's perception of the disability that can make us feel hard-done-to. If we just look at the child we have been given for who he is, nothing else matters.
