My DS is nearly 6 and was diagnosed with ASD in April. Not a surprise to us at all as we had been pushing for this for four years. We are lucky that he now has a statement, 20 hours 1-1 a week in school, (high acheiving school).
He is a lovely boy and tries to be good, his problems lie mainly in receptive speech. Lately his behaviour has started getting a little rough and mean though - delibertely standing on his one year old sisters had,stamping on the cats tail etc. Does a statement really work? I feel quite lost with all this. Everyone I know says it does but obviously it takes time. So worried what the future holds for us, perhaps I'm still grieving for my son?
