Hello. My son is 13. He was diagnosed with ASD just over two weeks ago. This has taken a very long time with alot of appointments etc. I’ve spoken to him as positive as I can throughout this time. When he received his diagnosis he wouldn’t accept it and broke his heart - he said I created it in my mind and made everyone believe he has ASD. Everytime it’s mentioned he cries and says I’ve ruined his life. I’ve decided to not talk about it and try and let him process the information. But in all honesty I can’t see him ever accepting it.
also with his hormones raging etc I’m finding everything so tough - and how to deal with him. He has his first CBT session yesterday which didn’t go well. He cried when ASD was mentioned and then due to his awkward social skills he didn’t open up at all. I feel so lost on what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
