My nephew is recently 9 and has been diagnosed as being autistic about 3 years ago, it's gradually getting worse and his tantrums over various things like eating or getting dress / ready for school are getting worse.
Any other people on here have any advice or similar situations?

He is 9 now, I am worried how he will cope at secondary school or into the wider world getting a job etc. He acts about 5 years old and progress is slow. The family are involved with Austism outreach but the services seem so stretched and under pressure they dont really offer much help.
