Hey Jon, as you know my boy is also on the Spectrum. I won't barrage you with questions, but if you ever want to chat, ask questions of anything just get hold of me. Viv (Scarlet) helped me a lot when Byron was diagnosed, it can be good to have someone further along to bounce off so the future doesn't look so scarey.D6Nutz wrote:Coming to the end of an emotional day and starting a new chapter of my son's development.
We got his long awaited assessment today for ASD. He has been diagnosed as registering on the autistic scale, which wasn't at all a surprise. We are just happy now that we can unlock some doors for the school and ourselves for specialist help.
Onwards and upwards...
Remember one thing, regardless of how its perceived, it is NOT a disability. It's a difference. They are fully capable to achieve as much as a nuero-typical child it's just up to us as parents (with help) to find the right strategies to get them there. It is extremely rewarding when you nail it on occasion.
