Hello I'm new to all this! I just got a diagnosis for my son. He is in year 5 and has challenges around communication and transitions between activities. He is doing well academically and having joined a few Facebook Groups I can see that he has not had to navigate as many challenges as others. He is in mainstream school and they have been great with supporting him with an ECHP. I don't have the report yet but it is around communication with adults, echolalia, and not reading the non-verbal cues in conversation. he has a few intense interests (Rubix Cubes, Mindceraft, memorising lists of things like algorithms). At home we've just accepted him for who he is as a family but I know that won't always be the case in the world. I've gone through grieving, frustration, anger, anxiety, guilt, self-analysis and fear in the last two days and I'm sure that's normal! I want to embrace the diagnosis and get on with it. Any advice on how to support my son and connect with other parents?
