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

  • Hi Emma I'm in the same position you are. My son has just got diagnosedwithautism and have no idea where to start its quite overwhelming I've been trying to find groups in my area to see if there's meeting so I can get to know more about it instead of reading pages and pages of writing.

    I was told the same with everything you have wrote but my son his coming on a lot more since starting school he would interact with adults but not children hes slowly doing it now his speech is coming on more he can say 3-4 words in a sentence but not a full sentence yet. 

    Him being diagnosed was a shock but I'm hoping I canwork with him as much as I can and get to understand it more.

    your son will come on in his own time he will talk again I've had it all with my son and flash cards work a treat. 

    hope to hear more from you it would be nice to know and talk to other mums about this :)
