Hi all,
I will start off by saying that I'm autistic and so is my 3½-year-old son. My son has just received the official autism diagnosis, which indicates moderate to severe symptoms of autism. Please note, this is early-age autism and he will have another assessment when he is 5 or 6.
My wife and I are planning to move back to the UK so that my wife is closer to her family, which has now caused a bit of worry for me. For the past year or so, we have had many arguments about which country is better for our son as my wife believes the UK provides better support for children with autism. I have no experience with the education system in the UK, and I didn't attend school in either the UK or Germany, only university. So, I need to understand which country is better for my son.
My source of information is primarily based on things I've read and heard.
I need to understand things better, because I don't want my son to grow up without proper support like I did.
