My son(5)has been diagnosed with an ASD a couple of months ago. He was very slow to talk but since starting school has made much progress. I have been attending the Early Bird Plus programme but feel that it could all have been covered in one session and that not much of it is relevant to my son. The whole idea of the spectrum is so vague.
Can anybody suggest any good books that might give me a little more insight? Over the years we have become aware that this son is 'different' and we have developed coping and helping strategies. His school is fantastic and sensitive to his needs.
His main problems are with language and social interaction.
I'd really appreciate any ideas. Feeling confused and a little lost.
