Hi, I'm Alex my son David aged 6 is on the Autistic Spectrum as well, I'd say in the middle of the spectrum. He was diagnosed virtually the day I took him to see the specialist, he attends a special school for autistic children and he is getting on really well. He went to a special needs nursery as well. He is statemented so just keep on in there, I know it is very hard, I find I tend to find out more from other parents than the professionals, I don't know about you.
