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 :-)

    Hi, 

    i had a diagnosis for my son at the age of 2. He is now 4 and we have now got his EHCP and is starting a special needs school on Thursday which we are so pleased. My son has got a diagnosis of severe autism now with severe learning difficulties. My son is completely non verbal and no hand gestures just babbles like a baby and screams if he wants something. You can get DLA with a diagnosis of autism as we got it once he was diagnosed. I knew something wasn't quite right at about 18 months and got the diagnosis at 2. I just wanted to say that early diagnosis and intervention is key. Dont think it gets any easier but it's best to start getting the help early For all involved. just look around your local area about things to help in your area. I go to support groups and have someone from early years for autism who comes and sees us regularly Also have TRACKS which is a specialist nursery but these not many of these around. Just wanted to share my story.
