Dealing with a Autism - Autistic child

I am a parent of a year old Autistic boy who was diagnosed when he was just two and a half years old.
Discovering your child has a lifelong condition and is not your typical normal child is quite a heartbreaker and takes quite a while to get over and come to terms with.
No-one can ever tell you what definitely causes autism. Many theoretical causes have been thrown around but nothing conclusive in my opinion. However, what is known is that it is a mental health problem which is due to damage caused to the brain, even caused during pregnancy or just before birth where some women who have had traumatic births which have gone horribly wrong causing brain damage to the newborn baby.
However, having an autistic child or an Asperger's child (high functioning end of the Autistic Spectrum) can make your whole life very difficult and impacts the whole family especially siblings.
