School Reports

Have school reports been useful to anyone as evidence for obtaining their autism diagnosis? 

Parents
  • My mom kept my first report from a shrink, I saw it for the first time 5 years ago, until then i Had no idea something like that happened

    SO it went like that:

    when I was about 5 in kindergarden, at some point I did undergo a psychological assessment, though I do not recollect seeing any doctors at that time, or anyone telling me that it will be happening today, or anything like it

    I was regular visitor to a nurse (broken head, and such), so I was able to tell them apart

    report said

    A difficult child, incorrectly developing speech and social interactions, acting with anger when questioned (questioning usually was  this: a bigger boy coming and trying to snatch a toy I was playing with)

  • I now and again wish my parents had kept documents/reports from school professionals/medical professionals who investigated concerns about me when I was around that age as well. I had no idea until later on in life that a doctor/school professional had ever looked at me for Autism/Asperger's when I first started full time schooling back in the 90's. 

    If my parents still had my health visitor book (red book) somewhere that would be something.
