Just looking for a bit of reassurance I think

Hello everyone,

I'm new here, my 4 (nearly 5) year old son has just been diagnosed today. 

I feel very mixed feelings, it initially felt like a relief when they told, they the experts had seen what we've been dealing with at home and out and about (masks perfectly at school). However now I just feel slightly confused, it's like it's all boiled down to getting this diagnosis and now I have no idea what to do.

As he masks so well at school his current teacher showed no concerns at all ( a pre-school teacher from the same school who has now left agreed with us and filled in the forms, no idea what she put but the experts today agreed with what she said too). The assessors today said school should be able to put things in place to help him as they sense areas he will need help, however how do I go about this. I'm still waiting for the report so will read it all properly before acting. 

I just feel a bit lost and mixed up and no idea where to really go. 

Sorry it's about lengthy, also called them the experts as I can't remember what their job titles were. He is very high functioning and does masks very well in situations so I just want to be able to get him and give him support he actually needs to suit him.

Thank you Blush
