Something that is not talked about enough, In my opinion is all the different health issues that can and often do go hand in hand with autism.
For example my middle son who is six has the following
Autism,Adhd,unspecified seizures,has had sleep issues,sensory problems, he also has low tone and benign hypermobility syndrome the last two seem to be common in Children with what used to be referred to as aspergers.
I wish that when we had received our first sons diagnosis that there was some sort of hand book telling us all the different things they may struggle with. Unfortunately it has been a long and winding road trying to piece apart what is autism and what may be another underlying issue that needs to be addressed.
We have learned that it is always important to follow your gut, only you know your child the best and if something feels off don't be afraid to search for answers.
I will also say the most powerful thing you can do is research!
I will be doing some blogs to dive deeper into some of the comorbid disorders and what they have looked like for my boys.
