Hi my name is Karen and I have 4 autistic sons. They are all adults now from 27-40. I am currently helping my youngest who has struggled for a long time. He wasn’t given a diagnosis as a child, but instead we were told it was learned behaviour from living with other autistic siblings. The result has been disastrous for him. We are now in the process of getting a diagnosis so that he can receive help.
