Hi
We have a 12yo son who has a working diagnosis of ASD. This comes after years of concern about occasionally volatile behaviour and actions, and ongoing assessment through CAMHS.
I'm hoping some of you will be able to share the benefit of your experience with us, as we feel overwhelmed and a bit lost as to how to go forward with things.
Look forward to hearing from you.
hey,
I recently got my results from my ASD, and it turns out that I have high functioning autism. At first I found it confusing, and I wasnt sure how I was "supposed" to feel. Now, I am relieved that I finally know what has made me me. I am still a little embarrassed at having it, but hopefully over time I will be ready to share it with my friends. It will take time for it to sink in, but in the long run look at it as a positive thing as now people can understand your son better and will be able to support him in ways that will actually work. This site has helped me massively, maybe it might help him too. My mum also goes to speak to someome about how to cope with me when I have a meltdown, or just to understand what autism is. You might want to try that
Sending my best wishes x
