New here - Diagnosis seems like a can of worms.

My son (16 years) has been diagnosed with ASD about a week ago.  This wasn't a huge surprise - but what is a surprise is the fact that it seems to have opened a can of worms.  Instead of feeling like my husband and I (and our son) are going to be well supported, it seems there is very little support/advice.  Hopefully, I'm jumping to conclusions and it's early days, but I don't want to be naive to the reality that we're going to have to fight a lot harder for our son than we at first realised.

So thankful for websites like this one.

  • Evening,

     

    I must admit, I'm truly shocked at what I'm reading.  My main reason for seeking a diagnosis for my son (we've been 99% sure what the problem was) was so that both he and I (because I'm kind of going round the bend dealing with his 'funny ways'!) could get support.

    Appreciate your comments.
