Hi

I am at the beginning of my journey as my 3 year old son was diagnosed last October.  I am still coming to terms with his diagnosis even though I already knew it.  I'm so pleased that I can come on here to talk to people who understand what it is like having an autisitic child.

  • hi Jade - just to say welcome to the site.  My son was diagnosed 3 months before his 3rd birthday, but that was a long time ago now!  I've just joined this site + am pleased I did.  There's loads of help/info + understanding here.  Getting an official diagnosis does take some getting used to, even if you already knew.  The diagnosis should help you and your child in a number of ways:  an understanding of the condition, education, benefits, support.  Yes, it's a journey that we're all on here.  Your fellow travellers will help you.
