For parents

First steps when you are wondering about autism

12 March 2026 · 6 min read

If you have been searching late at night, you are not alone. Here is a calm, practical place to start.

If you have been wondering whether your child might be autistic, you are probably feeling a mix of worry, relief, and exhaustion. Many parents tell us they noticed small differences early on — a different way of playing, difficulty with change, or speech that developed on its own timeline.

A good first step is to write down what you have observed: when it happens, what seems to trigger it, and what helps. You do not need a perfect list. Bring whatever you have to a consultation, and we will help you make sense of it together.

An assessment is not about putting your child in a box. It is about understanding their needs so you can access the right support — at home, at school, and in the community.
