Got the date asd diagnosis

Thanks all. It was all very positive. The diagnosis itself was no shock, I knew it was coming as we'd been left in no doubt by our last visit to the consultant that he was.
But I was surprised how all the professionals were so positive. They made me feel that he can become a functioning adult and that he will speak properly and that he has advantages that can be used to help him.
 
The professionals were/are the same with us. I was rather surprised especially as so many parents complain that the professionals say "they can't, they won't" sort of things to them. Our specialist said having some verbal ability already and displaying signs of being able to learn are all good signs towards being able to becoming a functioning adult.
