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?

Explaining why was really important to me. I struggled to follow rules I didn’t understand, but had no issues if I knew why the rule existed.
I think a lot of parents underestimate Autistic children. I don’t have concrete evidence to support this but I think Autistic brains develop faster than neurotypical brains. I’ve seen young children who are knowledgeable on very technical topics.
