My wonderful 3 year old son is waiting for a diagnosis after the teacher at his school nursery told us back in January he is showing signs of autism. He currently has a one on one in place which the school have told us they have had to fund themselves from the school budget as they don’t have government funding for him until he diagnosed.
Is there any way we can push this diagnosis forward as they have told us he won’t be moving into reception in September and they will be holding him back. We’re told the waiting list is 18 months which means he won’t be assessed until next summer. My partner is absolutely heartbroken with the whole scenario and is really struggling mentally to deal with just waiting around for the assessment so he can get the support he needs. Is there anything we can do for my boy as I don’t no how much longer I can tell my partner it will all be ok when nothing is happening to help him.
