Son just diagnosed and im feeling scared for him & for me

Hi my 14 year old son has just been diagnosed ASD after a very long process and now im unsure where we go from here- I am looking into courses that I can attend to help him manage his emotions but he wont attend any meetings.

Any help from your own experiences would be invaluable. 

Thx

  • Hi - welcome.  Sounds like you've had a long battle to get a diagnosis for your son.  If you have a look on the home page you should find directions there about courses.  There's a lot of info so if you haven't already, have a good look around.  Also the posts are a really good source of info, so do a search if you want to.  There are books you can buy which parents + children can read together about aspergers.  I can't remember the titles but have a look on amazon or similar + check out these posts as the titles could be mentioned there.  Come back any time you want (smileys not working yet again, unless it's my pc!)
