I am a mother of 5.5 years old kid who was diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) at the age of 3.5. For a parent this diagnosis overwhelming and many could feel devastated. And the accompanying technical explanations could be very confusing. But I have overcome these stages, found out ways to overcome some disadvantages my kid has owing to this disability. I feel the explanations and definition for ASD are inadequate to a parent of kid with autism as to what to do. Hence, according to me ASD is some developmental delays, socializing constraints together with some sensory issues. Please note, I am saying delays, constraints and issues.
