Practical Advice for When You Begin the ASD Parenting Journey
"My child was just diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD, now what?"
This is a question that is often asked by newly diagnosed parents. I can remember the immense feeling of overwhelm taking me hostage when my son Joseph’s diagnosis was confirmed.
To say my mind, body, and spirit were overloaded with fear of the future is an understatement.
There was so much to process. I processed what this diagnosis meant for my son, my family, and myself. I decided to put myself on the back burner and move to what was most important to me at the time, which was finding ways to help my son.
So I got to work--finding help for my son and advocating for him.
As you begin this process of finding help for your child, I want to share some important tips in this video.
Enjoy!
