Hi
Bit new to this but looking for any advice on approaches to talling my son about his diagnosis. He was officially diagnosed by GOSH when he was 5 and is now 7. Both the school and my husband and I feel the time has now arrived when we should tell him. We are hopeful that this will help him understand why he is different in some ways to his friends, why he finds certain tasks at school difficult and why he suffers anxiety and times of extreme anger.
He has an IQ in the top 1% so has the abillity to understand the diagnosis, however he is still very young and we want to do everything we can to mange this milestone as well as we can.
Grateful for any advice or persoanl experiences.
Many thanks
