Hi Everyone

stars

Just thought I'd post a quick message to say hello.

My daughter was today diagnosed with Autism, at age 7. Due to our address and and school being in two different county's this has taken quite some time to conclude, but at last we are now making progress.

Anyway I will be spending alot of time on this site over the coming years, so I thought I better say hello. Also if anyone has any good starter pages to look at, that would be great.

Thanks All

Parents

  • hi Stars - welcome - sounds like you've had a long journey to get a diagnosis.  This site is excellent for info + support.  Take things 1 step at a time because there's a lot to become familiar with, such as how autism affects your daughter as an individual.  That's a good place to begin.  Have you applied for a special educational needs statement so she can get any extra support she needs at school?  There are lots of posters who will be helpful any time you ask.  bw
