Sadly ASD units / mainstream schools aren’t for everyone
I’m sure you will work it all out !!
There’s so much information and advice out there ( online ) ..
I’d like to recommend a brilliant website to you
It’s called WrongPlanet.com and it’s a forum for anyone on the autism spectrum and also for parents of ASD children.
You can peruse without registering but if you want to post any questions or start a thread you just register ( for free) ..

How do you feel about being called autistic, Zizu (just wondering)? Does it piss you off and have you insist on people saying Asperger’s instead (for fear of being lumped in with low-functioning people who have additional issues that make them like that in the first place) or is it just autism in your personal lexicon? I know some Aspies absolutely hate being called autistic, because it makes them sound more incapable and “disabled” than they are.
