As professionals we have a responsibility to tell let the child know they are / could be #Autistic. Please don't keep this from them out of fears around 'how it may impact them'. That's creating more stigma and negative perception.

"For that is what our children carry through life with them. They won't remember their GCSE history syllabus in 20 years, but they'll remember how it felt to be laughed at, to be excluded, to be told not to be so silly when they explain how the playground makes them scared."
