hi, im new and could really do with some info

emma0802

hello my name is emma and im a mummy to my 2 1/2 year old son. we have been told by his speech therpist that he will get his autism diognosis on january 8th as herself and the doctor will both agree he has autism. so i really dont know yet to what degree or his official satus will be?? 

its all come as a bit of a shock and so so fast. in september we just thought he was on par with all the other children and now 3 months later we are being told he is autisic to some degree. 

i know autism affects everyone diffrently but im just not sure where to start?? i really want to help him as his communication is non- existant and he is getting more and more frustrated. where should i start reading? also i must admit its not helpful when the family   are burying thier heads in the sand btu either saying he's fine or just naughty! im not really sure where to begin with them? 

any help or advice would be very much appreciated. thankyou xx
