Hi I'm new to the forum, I have a 2 year old son who is currently on the waiting list for autism diagnosis. He's far behind in his development and isn't talking or interacting at all. Our health visitor came out to see us a few weeks ago and she informed us she thinks its possible for him to be autistic as he is showing a lot of autistic traits.
Myself and my husband don't know very much about autism and are feeling a little lost at the moment.
We don't know where to begin with learning about autism or helping our son. We feel very helpless at the moment and unsure of what we can do to help him.
is there anyone here who has been in a similar situation if so could you please get in contact with us we could really do with some advice.
thanks everyone :)
Thank you for your response, I agree completely that society will be the biggest problem however I will do my best to support my son in anyway I can and I will try to not let society cause and problems for Him. unfortunately I understand that I cannot protect him from everything and as he gets old things will get harder in society.
with regards to having his hair cut is there anything I can do to make it more comfortable for him? I hate the fact that he gets so distressed I hate seeing him like that.
I understand how things I could never have imagined would cause him such discomfort will indeed be painful and distressing to him but what I cannot figure out is if I can help to make things more comfortable or tolerable for him.
