Hi.
I’m new to this.... my 8 year old son has just got his ADOS diagnosis through today. I have been waiting 18 months for this (well, I’ve been waiting about 5 years to try to get to the bottom of why he does some of the things he does). I wanted him to be diagnosed because it explains everything. I would have been terribly worried if he hadn’t been diagnosed because what would this mean for his future and how does this explain his behaviour? I love him so much and many features of his autism are the things I love most about him. He is sweet, kind, caring and very close to me.
so why am I now so upset that it’s been made official? I really don’t get this!
