Handhold needed. Can't cope with 3.5 year old autistic son..

[OneWarmHazelQuail]

We're in the process of getting a formal diagnosis for my son who is 3.5 years old but I'm not sure how it will help.

He gets upset and angry a lot and it's very distressing. When he was younger, we thought it was just the terrible-twos but he didn't grow out of it. Will he be like this forever? Feel very depressed. It's so hard. I have a 8 month old baby too who isnt meeting her milestones. I feel lost. Please God, someone tell me it'll get easier!!!

Do you know what his triggers are? If you can minimise the triggers, you can hopefully reduce the behaviour. Remember it's his way of communicating. The world looks different through his eyes.
