Diagnosis help & advice please !!!!

julycw

Hi ti all you lovely folks Smile

I took the first step towards a diagnosis for my 3 year old son today , we visited our GP! I did not think i would find it so hard to get the words out , i ended up in floods of tears and so upset at what i was saying.

We left the doctors surgery with no advice really , but my little man is being referred to the hospital . 

I would very much appreciate any help or advice !

Thanks kindly ,

  • Just to add to what notpottyyet said about fighting for things. Do not take any rubbish, you know your son better then anyone and you will more then likely come across a number of professionals who are not very helpful (and some who are). Just keep going and don't give up until he has been thouroughly assesed because they will try and fob you off.

    As for advice I'm sure if you post specific questions about anything worrying you then everyone will do their best to help.

    I'm currently going through the diagnosis process with my 7 year old after being diagnosed myself with Asperger's back in May.
