I've been searching for such communities for several days now and I’m hoping to find some support here.
My cousin's son was diagnosed with autism, but she sort of refuses to accept it. He is almost 3 and hasn't received any care from specialists yet. He doesn't say a word, and he doesn't even respond to his name. The only thing he eats is milk and pasta. The worst part is that his mother works a lot, so the only person who takes care of him is his grandmother.
We are really worried because the situation is out of control.
Oh, I forgot to mention that his father doesn't participate in his life.
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
