Hi everyone.... so pleased I have found you...
So after a big battle trying to be seen by the correct people, my son George (Nearly 5 years old) was diagnosed with Autism and anxiety today.
It's funny because even though I knew it all along, i felt relieved yet also really sad when the Dr told us the diagnosis today...
I've been given a pile of leaflets and photocopies which I have been reading through this evening and to be honest I'm quite overwhelmed... What do I do now?
I have been on the send teaching school website and filled in a form expressing interest in their 'Cygnet' course (a course on understanding Autism, behaviour, communication etc). I guess I just wait to hear back now...
I have (obviously :-) ) signed up to this site as they mentioned the forums were super helpful...
But.... is that it? Do I need to do anything else?
Thank you so much and I look forward to meeting you all x
I personally don't have children with autism, but there are quite a few people here who will be able to give you sound advice. Hope you find the advice you need.
