I’m mum to a newly diagnosed 16 year old autistic boy

My son has just got an autism diagnosis, and has autistic burnout. He is high functioning and we realise he has been masking…. Not any more! As a parent I would appreciate any support or advice.

Many thanks

Hi. You sound in a similar position to me. Years of my daughter hiding in her room and masking her symptoms until things built up too much resulting in two hospital stays. Our situation was extreme but I’m so relieved for the diagnosis. She’s 21.
