  • Hi Amanda - my son's in his 20s now so I'm not new to all this any more.  He was diagnosed a few months before his 3rd birthday.  An early diagnosis is helpful because the support/understanding your child needs should come earlier than if the diagnosis was later.  There's lots of info via the home pg + posts so if you haven't already, have a look there.  I think knowing how autism affects your child as an individual is what you should concentrate on, rather than trying to learn everything as fast as you can : that's too much to do. Understanding the condition means you can help her a lot.  How's your daughter doing?
