Understanding Diagnosis
What's in this issue?
In this issue, we break down the autism diagnosis process through articles which look at its different elements. We have content about the DSM-5, ICD Code, and Gilliam Autism Rating Scale, as well as post-diagnosis pieces supporting families as they move forward. The key message is that, although the word “autism” might seem scary, most autistic people want to make friends, engage with others, and find purpose. They might just have a different way of doing these things. Parents, I urge you to take time to process your child’s diagnosis, but be supportive and ready for the challenge of helping your child reach their full potential on this journey. Enjoy the read.
