Newbie - daughter diagnoised today

Hi

My 7 year old daughter has been diagnoised with Autism today and I am feeling a little overwhelmed.  Not sure what the next step should be or how to help her?  I thought that if she was diagnoised things would 'be alright', but nothing has changed and the same behaviour problems are still there. Where are we supposed to start.

  • Hello AJ,

    I have Asperger's with characteristics of A.D.H.D and dyspraxia. I was diagnosed officially at 24. (I'm 32) I was tested previously at 8 and 17 yrs but miss diagnosed.

    Would you be able to give us a Idea of the diagnosis or some of the sympoms and how they manifest ? Don't worry if your not comfortable.
