    Hi,
    please don’t be scared, I have two sons with Autism, one aged 10 (diagnosed at 4) and one who is 20 (diagnosed at 18) my eldest son is in university in his second year and my other son is doing great too. You will find that even with a diagnosis nothing will change, you will continue to do what you are doing. Make use of support groups to chat with people, you may find a local one on Facebook.
