Hi,
I am concerned my son has autism. But it's how I'm dealing with it that worries me. I am googling autism all the time. My son also has an increased head circumference so I have begun googling that and increased risk of autism. I cry all the time and have stopped sleeping. I feel like if I could get a diagnosis and know for a fact it would be easier than this not knowing, especially as I know it could still be a year before any determination is made (or testing even begins). I also feel like I'm "testing" my son all the time - does he still point, is he still making eye contact, etc.
I would appreciate any advice on how to get through this.
