Hi everyone, my son was diagnosed with ASD in December and I have been struggling to find an online support forum for parents since then.  He is 5 years old (6 in July) and although I feel lucky to have this amazing unique boy ? sometimes it is just so bloody hard xx

    Thanks everyone, I have suspected it since he was 3 but having it confirmed is still quite daunting x
