My 2 yr old boy has just been diagnosed

Hi All,

My 2 yr old son has just been diagnosed to be on the autistic spectrum.  We are just on the start of his journey and it seems like we are going to get plenty of support in our area.  We have our first family support planning meeting on Friday so i was hoping for some advice on what questions i should be asking?

I would also like to hear from parents that are in a similar position who can give me any advice on supporting my little man?

I look forward to hearing from you :-)

    we have an 18 month old boy who has been referred due to social and development issues. He is going to be getting 1:2:1 therapy at home. We have to go for another assesmeant when he is 2 as he is too young to diagnose apparently but we suspect he is autistic. Just wanted to say you are not alone! How are you finding things? I find it quite stressful but I'm hoping an early diagnosis will get us the support and our boy the help he needs.
