How do you help a child with autism?

My 4 year old son was just diagnosed with autism. How do I help him going forward?

The best thing I have found is to ensure they have all the therapies in place to help him continue to progress as much as possible, with speech, physical, and occupational therapies. Depending on your location, find out from his pediatrician what other resources are in your area for autism.

He usually needs speech therapy and behavior modification therapy to help him interact better with others and improve social skills
This is a good place to start:
