How to tell my child!!!!

NAS66126

Hi everyone my son was diagnosed yesterday and I was told about some information books that can help us as parents and also for my son to help explain what autism is. Has anyone on here got any recommendations especially for my son please?

  • I suggest using the "Amazing Things Happen" video from YouTube.  The core message I gave my son was that his brain works differently from most people's. The film is good at saying that different isn't worse or bad and you can back that up when you speak him.  Books wouldn't have worked for my son so I never researched them.

    Good luck.
