Little boy newly diagnosed

Code
over 6 years ago

My little boy was diagnosed at the end of August and I’m not sure what the best way to deal with things are or where to get help and advice.

my son is only mildly autistic and I find when I tell people about his diagnosis I get ‘yer but he’s fine’ or ‘they diagnose everyone these days’ and I find I can’t talk about it with anyone.

did anyone else have people act the same way?

i find as my little boy get a bit older he seems to show more signs of autism or that they have more sensory things affect them. My little man is 3. 4 in April. Is this normal?
