Just been told my little man might be autistic please help

So where do I begin. My little boy is 2 years and 8 months old and has very little speech. 

We attended a initial speech therapy assessment on Tuesday when we were told my LO has several autistic signs. He didn't make eye contact with the specialist. Flapping hands when excited. No speech and not answering to his name when playing.

The news hit me like a rock I guess I always had my concerns  ut never wanted to be confirmed. Spent most of the day in a daize  ot knowing what to think or do next.

Got. Little Informatiin on what happens next other than a 12 month wait for an paediatric appointment. 

Can anyone help advise. Feel lost.
