Hi

Our Grandson has just been diagnosed autistic, aged 4. Desperately want to help my husbands daughter, my step daughter, but apart from practical help like giving time, babysitting etc, at a loss at how to go about getting her the help and support she needs.

Although his diagnosis was not unexpected, we are all still reeling from the realisation and feel lost. We all need a mentor.

All help and advise would be very much appreciated.
