Hi there
We had our first paediatrician apt for our son who is just 2 yesterday. The paed said it's very likely our DS has autism (which we expected ) and a learning disability. When I queried the LD she said he's too young to tell, but he's behind by around a year with communication and speech- obviously the full assessment will determine his exact diagnosis.
I'm just a bit worried as I didn't expect the LD. Is this a common part of children with autism?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
Learning disability and autism
