My 3 y/o son received an autism diagnosis earlier this year. Seeing him do so well starting school this fall and starting to have lots of new words is what I'm

  You have a long road ahead of you--but it's a good road. Mine was diagnosed around 5 and is now in high school. That diagnosis meant services and accommodations that he was able to receive, which if he had not received, would have meant a much more difficult road through school. Thankfully our district does an amazing job working with him (and other special needs children). It's an experience being a parent of an autistic child, but I wouldn't trade it. Certainly something to be grateful for.

    Thanks :) I really appreciate hearing more experiences. I adore him, and I’m thankful he did get the diagnosis because we’ve had access to a lot more services. I also know each autistic child is different! I’m also very curious to see how having a neurotypical little sister impacts his growth. Already seems to be having a big impact. Insurance has been a big stress point but we’re navigating and getting Medicare has helped a bit.
