He asked me when did i start to realise my son had asd, i answerd honestly and said i have never 100% thought that he had asd there is too many things that dont add up, he is a very loving child always comes for a cuddle, he plays with toys mixes with other kids can be shy at times and does seem a little aquard somtimes hes had problems with his speech and has got learning difficulties but his reading is coming on now he is 8 he is about 12 to 18 months behind. i want to read up on asd can anyone recommend the best books to read

my son was diagnosed just before christmas, first we were told he was borderline. he has learning difficulties he is 8 he can read but is about a year to 18 months behind others in his class. he does seem to have a little bit of strange behavoir but i dont know if im reading too much into this. he is an only child, he has a coson who is 8 and he plays fine with her and her friends. i know he needs help with his education but should i make sure that he has asd what do you think
