Hi
I am new to the community. My 7 Yr old boy had his assessment today and with 0 not being Autistic and 7 being Autistic... He was graded at 13. Not a surprise to us or the school.
Its all around social skills, anxiety, environmental and sensory.
Any advice on what to do? Is there anything we can apply for in school to help him etc?
Anything we should sign up to etc
Any help would be great
Thanks
Hi NAS62401,
You might want to look at our After Diagnosis page here on the site - https://www.autism.org.uk/about/diagnosis/children/recently-diagnosed.aspx - which has information about getting extra help at school, social care, financial benefits if needed, talking to your child about their diagnosis and more, along with links at the bottom to the NAS helpline if you would like to speak to someone directly.
Hope this is of some help,
