  • I'm in a near identical situation. My little cousin (more like a nephew relationship) he's 21 months and now being assessed/diagnosed with ASD. I know nothing about this but i really want too.

    I've tried to educate myself via the internet but there are other things i need answers too.

    He is a twin and where his sister will interact with us and play, he doesn't but i dont want him to be "left out" but he seems happy to be on his own, doing his own thing. Should this be incuraged or should we try harder to involve him etc...

    Any advice would be grately appreciated.
