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 :)
Can I please ask for a little bit more advice. The last week or so my son has started hitting his head on the wall or hitting himself in the head with something such as a remote control. He is also throwing a lot of things. I think it's because he is fruatrated because he can't talk. any advice on the best way for me to help in this situation would be much appreciated. Thank you
