I am still not really accepting my ds (4yrs) has autism. He was dx in March so you'd think I'd have had a little time to get my head round it. I wondered when any of you were at this stage if you went round telling people - ie, I want to tell Mums at nursery but of course it doesn't come up in conversations and I think they will sort of dismiss him - he's going to go to school with half these kids so it would be good for them to know - but is it better for now not to say?
I find it hard to say the words out loud to people anyway because I think it puts them in an awkward position then as to what to say. Sorry if this sounds a little silly!
Just asking for some advice as to how to accept it all! neither of the grandmothers (who don't him that often) accept the dx therefore it isn't generally talked about much but its on my mind the whole time!
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
