Hi all
I never really interact due to be being a really shy person ( I’m not autistic ) but I really want to understand my little boy who has just turned 4 so that I can better support him
we have realised since around January this year it’s very likely my son is autistic. We are waiting for an assessment but I have done lots of reading books internet etc
From my reading I think he is on the milder side as he is talking, potty trained apart from at night he still wears a pull up but I won’t know really until he is assessed.
what I have been trying to find is to actually understand how my son feels on a day to day basis and why. How he processes information
I don’t always understand his response or lack of response and sometimes I am guessing. I feel helpless and don’t know how to help him when he gets very distressed
a lot of what I find is more techniques and clinical information or steps I can take etc which is fine to understand autism but doesn’t really help me understand my son and how he feels day to day
i want to see it from his point of view as being so young he can’t explain it to me
Can anyone help me or give me guidance to the best way I can truly understand?
I’ve been looking at books from authors with autism
can anyone recommend one ?
