Mum looking for support

Moonmum

I'm mum to a 5 year old boy, today he's not autistic (this is my rediculous way of thinking thats getting me through ) but on Tuesday I'm having a post assessment meeting with his assessment team and I fully expect him to be diagnosed as they've all but said already.

I was looking around online to see if there are any local support groups, more for me selfishly at the moment as I feel really conflicted and sad about all this. There are so many different websites though, has anyone had any luck finding local groups of people to chat to about this stuff?

  • Hello Moonmum

    , While you wait for the assessment team to see your son, you may find it useful to have a look at our autism page on our website which has a vast amount of information. The page contains information on the basics of what the autism spectrum is, how it's defined in a clinical sense, and the characteristics of autism: http://www.autism.org.uk/about/what-is/asd.aspx 

    I hope this helps.

    Best Wishes

    Thanks Lorraine, I've been having a good read through. Am up most of the night with a newborn.. Upside.. Lots of time for reading.

    my sons been assessed. We were due to get the results just when lockdown started so obviously that meeting couldn't go ahead, so it's a phone appointment now next week. Im rubbish on the phone and I know I'm going to be left with a million questions and noone to talk to really with all this going on . Really glad I found this site.
