How to tell my son he has autism

Smw13

Hi, I feel my son is ready to know he has autism but I don't know where to start! We've always taught our children that everyone is different and unique, so how do we now tell him that he is a bit more different? Any help would be great, thanks

  • Hi,

    These are some books we have been suggested by the team who assessed our son to explain him ASD. Our boy will be 7 soon. 

    My autism book by Gloria Dura Vila and Tamar Levi

    The survival guide for kids with autism spectrum disorder (and their parents), by Elizabeth Verdick and Elizabeth Reeve

    All cats have Asperger's syndrome by Katy Hoopman. 

    Look them up online and see what you think. 

    Also, a great video is "Amazing things happen". Very child friendly. 

    Best of luck.
