    Hey @fudgee. As a fellow autistic here, I want to say thank you for taking the time to study things to support your son. How are you finding everything at the moment?  :)

    Hey @dieselsmum. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am sure your experience will be invaluable for anyone experiencing anything similar.

    You have mentioned your son has only just been diagnosed and it is all new to you. How are you feeling about everything at the moment?

    Also, is there anything, in particular, you would like to discuss further or know more about? It's fine if not but I want to ensure we provide you with that space if wanted.

    A barrier of laughs sounds really positive! Sounds like, although it is a lot to deal with, you are doing really well which is great to hear.

    Please don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do to support you or your family though. We are all here for you and your family  :)
