Just been told my little man might be autistic please help

Yes it does appear as if your son is on the autistic spectrum. You describe classic signs.

My son had as far as I can remember zero speech at 3.-3.5 years when he was diagnosed and was immediately allocated a place in a special school. But the was over 30 years ago, they don't exist today and seem to be incorporated with Mainstream schooling. I personally do not believe this is a good thing. as vulnerable people should always be in a safe environment.

To day is seems to be different. also  the fact that your son may have some language is a plus. Also in some children language is late normally. It was our first concern as to my sons development.  

When my son was diagnosed it was a tremendous relief because his behavior had become so different to his brothers and sisters. We had at least a diagnosis of a then about 1 in 4000 and little publicised affliction. We could now start to build up from the low point we had reached. We started with GP, Then to Hospital Pediatrician, then to Pediatric Neurologist and a team of behavior and language observers at a children's hospital. and then immediately special school at 3.5 years.

With my son at that age he had no comprehension of any language,  its use and how it works, other than they are sounds which he could not understand any meaning to.  In fact his first sounds as far as I remember were Caw Caw copying the Crows. Dad took longer and unfortunately Mum longer still. Today at age 35 he is obviously a vulnerable adult. All his life he has been watching Tom and Jerry cartoons, Bart Simpson etc and his Language has been copied from the cartoons these are repeated repetitiously time and time again. Today they are on all the time as well as music, he loves music.

There is No specific Cure for autism, My son will have to live his life being autistic. He is quite bright but needs constant care and protection, and someone to fight his battles to get  the services he needs.  He could not be allowed out to play or go on his own  except in a safe place. When he was young and perhaps stressed. he did escape several times from a safe place.  He wanted to explore. 

Getting his disability recognised for a blue badge, this helps, and was a fight. I suggest you make contact with your local CAB office first to see if you qualify for any Carers benefit. and help with claiming a blue badge then the Council's social service department, because they will have to pay out money for the specialist help he will need in Education, because your son will need specialist language help and supervision. My son loved Thomas the tank Engine stories read to him time and time again.

Our son is a pleasure most of the time, but he can occasional seek to attack us when confused, He Takes medication to keep his stress levels down., but he did not take any medication until aged about 25 when his behavior became so bad.

Your son will always need your help.
