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

  • omg that must be so hard for you! knowing she needs help but cant get it. have you had no help at all??

    ive been reading through the forum and have seen a few people struggling to get a diognosis. i know im lucky in the sence its all happened so fast but i must admit its been a bit of a fireball and hit us hard coz we really didnt have a clue. i really do hope you finally get some help for your daughter.

    im new to this but can you keep getting your daughter referred?? or do they just re-assess? my sister has a boy and he is very noticeibly diffrent to his sisters and all they keep saying is he is delayed but wont actually offer much help for him. its sooo frustrating because he defo needs help. keep trying hun, ill keep my fingers crossed for you xxx
