Hugs to you guys! <3 The first little bit after the diagnosis is hard, but then you get into a groove and figure things out that work for the kid and it's better.
Jamesen was diagnosed at 2, but Marcus wasn't diagnosed until almost 7 because he was "too social to be autistic". I feel like that really was detrimental for him, because of my two, Marcus has needed more help.
We've learned a lot in the last 6 years (Jamesen is 8 now), and I know you guys will too! You can do just as good of a job for him on your own! I tell you that because I had to do that with Marcus. They wouldn't approve anything for him but speech, but I worked with him at home.
If Lucas is struggling with anythign specific, search for it on youtube and pinterest and you can find a lot of good stuff both for you to do and for him to do!
