hi my 2 1/2 year old son has recently been diogniosed with autsim and im feeling abit lost and overwhelmed by it all. i knew this diognioses was coming but im feeling very unsure of what to do next. their isnt many people i know who i can talk to and i cant seem to find many people within my area with children around a similar age im sure their is plenty but it all seems over 5's  any help would be amazing

p.s sorry for the spelling mistakes im so used to spell check

  • Hi - welcome to the site Smile.  It's gd that you got a diagnosis at such a young age. There are many posts on here from parents who feel like you do so have a look around + also check out the home pg if you haven't yet done so - lots of info + there might be some info on groups in your area.  Sometimes googling will turn something up, if you haven't tried that.  How's your son doing?
