New parent to autistic 6 year old

Shell

Hi everyone my son who’s now 6 was diagnosed autistic in June and his now in year 1 at school and is really struggling. I feel like I am constantly hitting a brick wall which isn’t coming down trying to get the help he actually needs. It’s so bad I don’t even no what to do any more. Has anyone got any advice at all as I don’t actually have a clue with all of this

  • There are a few posters on here who have a lot more knowledge about this subjects who will hopefully reply, but I can recommend a few books that may offer tips on understanding and helping your child at school and at home:

    Asperger's Answer Book - The Top 275 Questions Parents Ask - Susan Ashley PhD (2006)
    ISBN 1402219776

    Asperger's Syndrome - A Guide for Parents and Professionals - Tony Attwood (2008)
    ISBN 9781843106692

    Asperger's Syndrome - A Guide to Helping Your Child Thrive at Home and at School - Melinda Docter, Ed.D._ Syed Naqvi, MD (2010)
    ISBN 9780470140147

    Note that Aspergers is an older name for what is also known as "high functiioning autism" althought that name is also being cancelled.
