Newbies- Son diagnosed with autism

Hi everyone,

We are two proud parents whos son (4 next week) has been diagnosed with autism. Bit of a shock, but he will get whatever he needs to get him through this!

  • Maybe it's just a phrase and doesn't mean exactly what it says but he'll need things to get on with it, not to get through it (unless you believe in an afterlife which I should perhaps not simply exclude). Just saying because it did upset me considerably when that diagnosis letter said that I'll find help to get through life in there as I believe this life is all I have really (and there was no help either).
