medical v psychological

My pleasure SB

However at 7, I would not be filling his head with Autism information, I would be just giving him information on this surroundings as a reassuring voice(you help his mind), an open friendly monologue like a car directional GPS, because what you take for granted as a Neurotypical person in the world is not the mind filter/lens that an autistic person will see through, for me personally everything is very complex, I miss the simple  angle. This is because my cognitive side is trying to make up for the emotional centre malfunction which is set to a childs fear.  because I don't have the emotional coping abilities,, so I have to try and understand things by the cognitive mind understanding, so the more verbal explanation I get the better it is for me.  This search for coping understanding increases your IQ it grows and grows, I was social dumb as a child, but an adult my IQ is gifted. So there is a emotional pain to intelligence increase correlation for me by a history of hyperstimulas(the world) and thus hyperawareness(sensory increase).

An example of this, is my support worker will tell me what she is doing and why all the time, so that she is not just moving about in my world coming in and out my personal space without me knowing why, who, where. This allows me a cognitive bearing rather than an emotional bearing. Imagine some stranger in the street suddenly just stepping up to your face, suddenly overwhelmed..,  this is how it is for me "even with people I know". I think there is a part of my brain which does not recognise them at first, like a blind spot in emotional recognition. This is one of my examples, but lets you understand the difficults an autistic person may have.

Obviously an autistic parent group for yourself would be good starting point lots of hot cups of tea, biscuits and shared information.

I think it is good that you seek early information on the forum, it is good hear from you and there is lots of parents who can guide you.

You are not alone.
