Advice for a mum from your past experiences please

Hi! ive spent the last 3 days reading all of your posts trying to understand the best way to deal with my childs recent autism diagnosis, if you have any advice what has helped you as a child or even as an adult id appreciate it. Abit of background - he has meltdowns, he has alot of anxiety, hes sensitive to noise, hes not really the type to isolate himself (not from me anyway i cant move for him haha) he eats the same 4 meals on rotation, doesnt really enjoy going outside just to mention a few things

i just dont want to mess this up! thanks :)

  • I suffer from sensitivity to noise and have found ear plugs really helpful, especially when I put the hoover round. I definitely recommend them. It might be worth talking to the gp and getting a specialist to help with eating. I did that for myself and now eat lots of different foods. 

    Sorry I can't be more help. I hope this helps you.

    Hi! Thats a good idea, ill speak to the GP and see if they have any suggestions. i only got a diagnosis on Monday and im still waiting for the report to come through so its all brand new and hazy at the minute. theyve not really given me any guidance on how to help him so this is useful thank you!
