Please help

we haven't had a good we. Monday my 6yo son was diagnosed as being on the spectrum and even though it was expected, I'm a health visit and we'd had lots of input from Educational psychologist and school, the news still came with a bang. Also this week me and my partner of 3 years have split up and we are temporarily with my parents until we find somewhere to live. I knew this would be tough on my little boy who already struggles with change but for two days he has been inconsolabel, meltdowns and disobedienc. He's extremely sensitive and it's heartbreaking for me to see him like this. I'm trying to be understanding and give lots of cuddles, letting him talk about his feelings etc but can anyone give me any advice on how to help him?? Im still trying to get the diagnosis under my belt too.

    Hi Jemima,

    I am really sorry to hear about the situation that you have all been dumped into. For the long term, it is really useful that you need to understand all there is to know about autism. What it means for him, what problems it gives him, what you can do about it etc.

    What do you know so far? What does his diagnosis mean to you?
