  • Hi, Manda's right, you are not a bad parent, you are a good parent + don't let anyone tell you differently.  Have a look at the posts from parents who have a newly-diagnosed child to see how they feel about things.  Also check things out via the home pg.  There's loads of info + their may be a support group near to you which you may wish to attend.  Learn about autism by using this site.  Learn bit by bit how autism affects your child as an individual, then you will feel more in control + be able to help him.  Are the professionals offering your son speech therapy?  Autism can be difficult for the non-autistic to understand.  They mistakenly put it down to "naughty" behaviour.  This is a classic mistake, as is using disciplinary methods that are frequently used with non autistic children.  Are family + friends being supportive?
