  • It must be hard as a parent to find out your child has Autism. My brother has Autism and he is now 17 years old. I don't know if I can really help you much from my experience. All I know is that children with Autism are just like everyone else. There really not much different. You have to explain things to them in more detail sometimes. Also, you have to get onto their level by talking about things you know they like. If your son likes cartoons, then maybe you can find a way to explain certain things to him by relating them back to cartoons. As far as if he knows whats real and whats not real. I think he does. However, being only 4, he is still a child and most children have a hard time understanding whats real and what isn't. It's important to have patience because they learn at a completely different pace then we do. I'm sure that this is still shocking and I'm sorry if I wasn't much help. My mother married at 17 and my brother was born when she was only 20 years old. I've seen her struggle with it, but she's a great mother and has learned good ways to communincate with him. I know you'll do the same. He is your son and no matter what, with time you will find ways to help him.
