It can be difficult to determine the first steps you need to take when parents believe that their child may have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or, when your family receives an ASD diagnosis. It may be a confusing and overwhelming time for many parents and children/youth/adults, as they will have many questions that they want to be answered. They may be unsure what their or their child’s needs are and how they can get the help they need from services available in Manitoba.
Below is a road map for parents in Manitoba to follow once their child has been diagnosed with an ASD. To learn more about the different stages in the road map, click on the links on the left toolbar.
