Another newbie, hello all!!!

Hi there

Im new round here so go easy on me.

Hope everyone is okay.

My little lad who is 7 has just been diagnosed with having Autistic Spectrum Disorder,

although we are not surprised as we thought as much but have had to wait nearly two years for an appointment to be assessed.

Me and my wife are quite relieved that there seems to be an answer to it all but a bit upset that it is another thing my son has to deal with along with having spastic diplegia cerebral palsy.

A question we would like other peoples opinions on is do we tell him about it?

My first thought was no, as he is likely to use it as an excuse now and again but on the other hand it may give him answers as to why he is a bit different and does some of the stuff he does....
