New here

Hi there, i am new to the forum.

My 3 year old daughter was diagosed with ASD on Monday.

Although i kind of knew, it still came as a bit of a shock.  We think she may

also have some sensory issues, so we are looking at investigating this.

Would be nice to meet parents in a similar situation.

:)

  • I've been told it's natural to be up and down and I've been told and read that we shouldn't be so hard on ourselves... Sometimes things are easier said than done but it's going to take time to process it's all still very new to us. One of the ladies in the team surrounding my son told me to read this booklet you may have read it already... If u google... early support autism disorder spectrum, I found it useful and informative. I may give that book you mentioned a try. My books haven't arrived yet but they were on the reading list at the end of the booklet and then I read reviews on amazon to see if other people actually found them useful but they are more help for parents and other parents perspective, it would be good to read something from a young boys perspective because that's all that's been going around in my head I may be finding all of this difficult but what must it be like for my son.
