An autism diagnosis isn't a verdict — it's a map. F84.0 means your child experiences communication, social connection, and routine differently. With the right support most kids on the spectrum grow, learn, and thrive; the work now is building the team and the plan around them.
Your first steps
- →Get a written copy of the full evaluation — you'll reuse it for school, insurance, and every specialist.
- →Ask for a referral to early intervention (under age 3) or your school district's special-education team (age 3+) — these services are time-sensitive.
- →Start one folder for reports, IEP/IFSP paperwork, and provider contacts so nothing gets lost.
Questions to ask your care team
- ?Which therapies (speech, occupational, social skills) do you recommend first, and how do we access them?
- ?How do we start an IEP or IFSP, and what's the timeline?
- ?Who coordinates the specialists, and how do they share notes?
