This week we finally got the Autism diagnosis for my 17 year old son, after years of him being dismissed as an anxious child or shy. I am going between pure anger that my concerns were dismissed for so long by schools and GPs and that he was alienated by children his age, and happiness that we have a diagnosis.
My question is what now? He sits his Alevels in May but has barely attended college for months. His college tutors keep emailing him asking where he is and I've been explaining for months that he is being assessed but also has OCD. I feel like nobody understands what I've been saying. He is incredibly bright so will pass his exams but actually sitting them could be a challenge. His GCSEs didn't happen because of COVID.
My mind is confused- what do we need to do re his future. I'm just lost :-(
