Hi, my name is ilovetodig0044!

My eldest son (14) was diagnosed with autism, adhd and Tourette’s when he was 5 and we have struggled to integrate him into mainstream life as much as possible. In the last 6 months my wife (37) has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum and in the last week my youngest son (10) has been diagnosed as autistic with adhd. 
I hope this group can aid me in my journey through life with an autistic family.

We have a specialist autism advisor you can contact if you wish and there's a thread on Autistic Spectrum Disorders that you might like to have a look at. Please do join in some of the conversations there if you feel up to it. It's a good way to meet people.
Hope some of that helps,
