4 yr old daughter- social communication disorder?

mama_b

Hi,

My 4 1/2 yr old daughter is undergoing assesment at the moment. She has just had her first pediatric appointment and we have recieved a letter sumerising what is happening.

She definately has problems and has also been diagnosed with hypermobility and is being refered to a physio. They also are going to do blood tests for 'fragile X chromosomes'

In the letter they refer to a possible 'social communication disorder'??? Are they talking about ASD/Autism or not? They want her to go for full assesment.

Anyone who can give me any further info on any of these would be great.

Thank you,

shelley xxx

  • hi - a full assessment needs to be done to make things clear.  Ask them what the assessment will consist of and that may answer your question about asd.  On the other hand, check out the nas site or give them a call.  My son was diagnosed when they used phrases such as "autistic tendencies" so what exactly social communication disorder means I wouldn't like to say.  Sorry if I'm suggesting things you've already thought of!  bw
