Hey mamas x
I need a little advice and support please
My son had an appointment today with the paediatrician x And he's been diagnosed autistic x I just need any advice or information on how you dealt with things and what to expect x How your little one needed help etc x
Thanks x
@xxxzenixxx, I’m here if you want to chat 😊, my daughter got diagnosed last summer so hopefully I can be some help, you get referred to an occupational therapist either by the doctor or a paediatrician. There’s also a website called the autistic society which has some information on there xx
@sarahlucindagiddins, oh thank u so much hun x the paediatrician that I went to wasn't very helpful at all x
Im just very overwhelmed I just need someone to sit me down and go through things x
So do I go to my doctor to ask to see an occupational therapist? x
My daughter has autism, basically she needs one to one support with pretty much everything, the paediatrician who diagnosed her gave us lots of useful information and we got put on a course that explains autism abit more in depth. You could ask to be seen by an occupational therapist who can help you with things that you are struggling with your little one, there’s loads of help out there it’s just being pointed in the right direction xx
@sarahlucindagiddins, thank u so much hun x
