New to all this and feeling rather overwhelmed

Tutts

My 3 1/2 year old son was diagnosed in May and I feel I am drowning in literature and nothing is sinking in. Bit of practical advice needed. How can I calm him down while he is having a tantrum. How do I deal with him when he is being 'naughty'. I totally list it and shouted at him the other day, felt bad straight away, I know I shouldn't but had got to the endoff my tether. 

Parents

  • Im out of my depth too. I dont know how to deal with her when she behaves inappropriately as nothing seems to sink in with Isla. She gets very tired after preschool so I have to take the buggy and she is far too big for it as she is a big nearly 4yr old who also wants her dummy. She is adorable and I love her so much. It breaks my heart to see her struggle and behave the way she does. I dont know what to do or how Im supposed to deal with things. I have been given a great book from the Autistic society but I am so busy with Isla or exhausted from her that I dont get a chance to read it. I wish I could chat to parents in the same boat who could give me tips and advice who understand where Im coming from. I wish I was able to help her but I dont feel that I can at the moment. I feel quite useless  :(((
