I am so gald you have found s supportive specailist! that is the first step into anything like this..

As for his intervention program, if you have concerns or want more help or information, never feel afraid to put your hand up for it because there are heaps of resources avaliable you just need to access them..I would urge you to contact the Autism Association in your area as soon as possible..

I know this is all new to you, but it sounds like you are heading in the right direction, trying to find others with children with ASD is very important, as sometimes Autism is like a hidden disability..alot of community memebers have no understand why your child is non verbal or does things differently and may not give them the patience they need. I've had people whisper behind my back while I am with a client throwing a tantrum over something they didn't understand say "that child needs a good smack" where as some with a more visable disability gets more understanding..

Anyhow..let us know his developments!
