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
