Hi my four year old son has just been diagnosed with autism. 

it was quite a shock to the system my partner and I just thought he was slow with his speech but after almost 2 years he has finally been diagnosed. 

its all very new to me and I would be very greatful for other parents and careers for advice and if there are group meetings where I can meet parents with children with autism

  • hi lolly - do you know why your 4 yr old grandson is stamping, hitting + spitting? If you can find that out then it may help you to help him with his behaviour.  Does he talk and/or understand what's being said to him?  Behaviour will deteriorate if something's  upsetting him, whether at home or elsewhere, such as routines being disrupted or sensory issues (if he has them) such as certain noises, smells, etc. There may be info/advice via the home page which may help.  If you cd let us know the action you take to try + stop this behaviour, perhaps posters cd be of more help.  With my son I found that a raised voice wd make him worse, that at a v young age he did not appreciate why certain behaviours were unacceptable.  Patience is key!
