There's no need to panic.
Being told your child has a diagnosis of autism can be a frightening experience, but there's no need to panic. Instead, consider this a positive first step in obtaining the best help. Keep in mind, a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can mean many different things, since all children have their own unique ways of developing and interacting with the world. Those diagnosed with autism are no different. The maturity and level of success your child achieves depends on many factors.
Genetics, education, family, and opportunity all play key roles, just as they do for
any child.
