Any parents who are Autistic or think they probably are

NAS75657

I am a parent of a boy who’s diagnosed with Autusm.  I myself am awaiting an Autism assessment and my husband believes he is although he doesn’t want an assessment.  Any parents who are either diagnosed or self identify as Autistic how do you find parenting children with Autism any advice?

    As well as hopefully getting some other replies here, you might also find it helpful to visit Autistic Parents UK and ask for feedback and advice there. It's a specialist charity that focuses on that area, and their resources include peer support via both Facebook and Discord, facilitated groups, and one-on-one support:

    "Autistic Parents UK CIO was founded in 2020 by Autistic parents seeking connection and support, born from a deep understanding of the unique challenges Autistic individuals face while navigating parenthood.

    We are the only national, Autistic-led charity offering essential support services, resources, education and a thriving community for Autistic parents."
