So my DS has no dx yet but he I know he is ASD although everyone who meets him assures me it's mild.
I'm struggling, panicking, anxious and not sleeping worrying about his future.
Here's the thing... I read a post here recently in which most people agreed that autism was genetic and that in retrospect they can see traits in older (non-dx) members of the family....
So is there really an 'autism explosion' or are we just more aware of the signs these days.....
These older ASD sufferers survived and in some cases prospered... with no diagnosis or help.
I think many 'prognosis' are based on cases that had to be pretty severe to get a diagnosis 15/20/30 years ago.
Our little ones with get all the help we can give them and grow up in a more understanding and aware world...
Does this give anyone else hope or am I kidding myself
