My 5yo son is currently being assessed for autism and i'm not sure what to tell him. He has quite a few appointments coming up and I haven't told him why we are going but he has never asked either. Should I just leave it at that or should I talk to him about it? If I should then how do I talk to him about it.
He also has twin 3yo sisters who are asking about why he is going to the doctors. I've told them he is going for a check up but they won't accept that answer. I don't want to say anything to them about autism without talking to my son first.
Also i've been working with someone who comes out to the house. He has put a lot of strategies into place to help my son. My twins are feeling a bit left out I think and have started copying my sons difficult behaviour. I try to spend plenty of time doing things just with the girls but they want full on attention every minute and can't accept that I need time with my son as well to help him. Any strategies to help there?
