My 5yr old son has just been diagnosed. The diagnosis was binary (yes:no) rather than a scale which was the first lesson for me.

I need to understand how to support him and am not sure where to start. Does anyone have any advice please?

    He is also just a 5 year old boy. Autism can sometimes blend in until kids start having more complex social structures. As long as the teachers aren’t being abusive school should be fine. I would get him some stim toys so that he isn’t being disruptive and can self regulate.
