Autism And Type 1 Diabetes - Autism Spectrum Message Board

My 7 year old son is autistic and an insulin dependant diabetic We need help and guidance and not one of our health professionals can give us an insight into how we can help our son. One disorder without the other is hard enough some days but the two together are a nightmare. Does anyone know of a professional that we can get in touch with who deals with the two together?
Even if you can't help I would still love to get in contact with someone else that is going through the same problems that we are.

Thanx so much for your words of wisdom!!! If that is the case and my son is not the only autistic/diabetic then point me in the direction of others who are suffering like my son.
