recently diagnosed

hi all

Just wondered if anyone could explain my sons diagnosis to me in more simple terms the thr professionals?

my son is 5 he was diagnosed with autism in oct last year he also has a speech disorder, he is bright and likes company and they say he has not got a learning disability. Will he grow up like other children? will he ever talk and fully understand? in so many ways he is like a toddler i adore him but the future is so uncertain they just sat me down after the assessment and said he was autistic not sure where to go from here! his school is good as he is in the language unit but the school sen told me to my face his diagnosis is incorrect and he was 'diagnosed by a checklist!' this is obviously upetting for me and untrue where he was diagnosed is a leading centre . help! lol

thanks emma

  • thanks for your replies is nice knowing others understand.

    he does have a statement and is in a resoursed provision of 7 kids with 4 staff so v.lucky on that count. thev school is good but his autism was only added to his statement after i kicked up a fuss! his speech disorder is a little confusing to me as he knows words but is unable to say them properly he is very hard to understand.

    Just scared really his my ony child and i love him so much i would give everything i have to let him talk.

    i really feel for the parents of children diagnosed late it must be a million times harder to get the support u all need.

    thanks both of u u r v.helpful.
