Newbie here - need all the advice I can get!

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!!!

  • My best advice is to join a face to face support group as well.  You and your children will make friends and share the journey not only of your son but others as well.

    You will get a lot out of networking with those who are in similar shoes.   

    Just to let you know my eldest has had a very rough journey but has now been short listed for head boy In a mainstream school. 

    I wish you well
