Hi @charl1988 I'm sorry to hear you're having a difficult time with your little boy and hope you get some answers soon. If you felt you needed some additional support, you could contact the Navigate Service.
Navigate provide a six week programme of online and telephone support to parents who have a child going through diagnosis or have a child who has recently been diagnosed with a disability. The aim is to provide parents with emotional and practical support that will help them build resilience as they start on their journey as a parent of a child with a disability or impairment.
Take care

Hi @char1988
Sounds as if you're having quite a difficult time at the moment. There are national charities that can give you more guidance and tips specific to Autism, which may be useful. I've included some links below.
https://www.autism.org.uk/
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/autism/
https://www.autism-alliance.org.uk/
https://resourcesforautism.org.uk/
It may also be an idea to google the Local Offer for the area that you live in and they can signpost to you to more local and specific support in your area.
I hope this helps.
Best Wishes x2
