  • hi Jojo - as your son has a diagnosis, I would expect him to be allocated a social worker.  The sen statement should say what educational provision/adjustments/support your child needs.  Is there a school for children with autism in your locality or is he at mainstream school?  There's  lots of info on the nas site which you can access to give you a comprehensive understanding about what happens following diagnosis.  My son started talking when he was 5.  He understood simple commands prior to that.  He always liked numbers.   He could write single words before he could talk.  In many ways he was and still is practical.  I still keep sentences short and simple, altho his vocabulary is much larger.  He was obsessed with Thomas the tank engine, as are most children with autism.  He's an adult now and has always been a "collector".
