Hi all, new to the forum, our son was given his diagnosis yesterday, awaiting the full report was just given verbally. I feel fortunate as I have worked within autistic services in the past and husband works within one currently, but when it's your own child everything is different.
What are peoples top tips? If you were back at the new diagnosis stage, what would you do differently, what do you wish you had been pointed toward?
Our son is almost 8, just teacher and speech therapist are fab, less impressed with the schools senco who left our request for assessment in her emails for 7 months before passing it over to be done, he is fully accepting of the diagnosis, has noticed recently he is abit different to his friends and that he needs abit more reassurance than them when things are changing. I've looked at some parenting courses, but they seem to be mainly aimed at parents who can do courses in the day time, so any pointers to other courses?
Thanks in advance.
