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 was an extremely fussy eater as a child and teen. Would spit foods out, point blank refuse to try anything I wasn't familiar with. I'm still fairly fussy and like to eat the same few meals, but I've grown out of a lot of it. I will now try many more foods than I would have done when I was younger. In respect of the eating, it may just be a waiting game.
