Hi all
I am Mum to two beautiful boys aged 4 and 6. My 4 year old Joshua was only diagnosed as having ASD yesterday so still a bit shell-shocked. Even though I was convinced he had ASD all along, having it confirmed still shook me a bit.
However - we're taking it as a positive and can't wait to get hold of some the help that's out there - particularly with his challenging behaviour.
Would welcome any help and advice anyone can give me!!!
. It can take a while to get used to the diagnosis, even if you were expecting it. It's nothing you can rush. There are lots of posts here from parents who have rec'd a diagnosis for their child so have a look around if you haven't already. Also lots of info via the home pg. Everyone understands. If you tell us a bit about his challenging behaviour maybe we can help? Ask anything you want.
