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 leppie - I read your post + my heart goes out to you + your daughter. I understand why it breaks your heart.  There have been times when I've felt like that, altho my son is different from your daughter.   It must be so difficult, day to day.  I really hope the assessment will help.  If you feel it doesn't or isn't detailed enough then I think you're wise enough to press that point so you can hopefully get the support you need to help your daughter.  Do you know why she puts her hands over her ears?  I hope things improve. bw
