Ex told ds he's autistic.

[Senmum24]

My ex always found it difficult to accept that ds has autism and learning difficulties. Ds is 8 and I have always Been honest with him so he knows he has autism. Ds mentioned it earlier and ex projected his voice saying "No you are not" he had said a while back that he found it hard to accept ds has autism . But he told me a while back he now accepts it. But clearly not .

What do I say to ds?

I'd say that some people find it hard to understand autism because it's not something that you can see. It's helpful to understand about ourselves because it's part of what makes you who you are. The doctors know that you have autism and we know that you have it and that helps us make life better for you. Sometimes people don't know about autism and that's ok, you can still tell Daddy what you need even if he doesn't know about autism. What's important is that you understand yourself and Mummy and the teachers understand, so we can all help you.

Yeah I guess I cam explain it in more simple terms
