Autism and dyslexia

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. My son is in year 4 in mainstream education.  He was diagnosed with sever dyslexia in year 3, and has now received an ASD diagnosis.  Please, if any one can relate to this as a parent, or person similar to my son, I would appreciate you're insight.

    My son was originally diagnosed with ASC and we struggled to get the right support in school. It was only after that was in place, including 1:1), that it was clear that he wasn't making progress with reading (reception reading level at the end of year 2) and Dyslexia was identified by the educational psychologist.

    The EHCP has been amended and he will now get weekly support from a specialist dyslexia teacher. We're waiting for this to start to know what difference it will make.
