Newbie to the group and needing advice

Hi all I'm Nicki and im a single mum to my little boy Ben who is 3 who has been diagnosed with autism and a sensory processing impairment in Feb 2013.

I feel very overwhelmed with it all at the moment and have been reading up on it as much as i can. I just wanted to know how parents dealt with disciplining their children. Ben cant communicate very well i.e you cant have a conversation with him so he doesnt necesssarily always understand. He has started lashing out at me and I dont want it to get out of hand ( if i can help it)

Any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated. Thankyou guys x

  • HI Nicki,
    First of all I want to tell you that at the age of 3, you cannot predict everything or I can say you cannot be disappointed because your child is just 3 years old.
    At the age of 8, you can only come to the conclusion whether your child is having autism or not, till then try to read more about this disorder, and be positive.
