Hi, after a very long battle, my son has finally been diagnosed at the age of 12 with atypical autism. its been a heart wrenching experience when all you want is to be listened to and the best for your child. 

Upon dianosis I still haven't explained it to my son aa I don't feel confident in telling him when I feel I don't know to much either.... Any advice on how to over come this would be great.

  • Hi Jodie

    I've no idea how to go about telling him.  My own daughter was diagnosed this year at 13 but she knew I was going to the meeting so asked as soon as I was home.  

    How is your son coping with school? Does he have much idea about his difficulties?  My daughter seemed to be at a primary school with some of the brightest kids they'd ever had and really struggled because she knew for a long time that she was different.
