Hi
I am contacting to get some help and advise
My son is been seen on the 10 May 2012 by a doctor. The Doctor referred my son to the social communication difficulty clinic as she was susppecting him to have Autistic spectrum Disorder. On that day,The Doctor mentioned that it will take 9 month to get a appointement.
I kept on calling the children services to have an update on the appoitement date and still today my son didn't get his appointement.
I find out that his name is been putting down on the waiting list for the appointement in September 2012 (while is been seen in May).also they told me that the clinic was running part time only.
I then decided in February to complain to the person who is in charge regarding my son assesment waiting time. I mentioned to him that I was strongly beleive that my son behaviour would have improved by now if he had the chance to be seen at the Social Communication Difficulty Clinic. I also ask for my son to be referre at a different clinic where he could be seen as soon as possible.
I receive a phone call from this person in charge on the 27 March and he explained to me that we would have to wait 12 to 18 month for my son appointement and He was not able to referre my son somewhere else. This person mentioned that he will write to me and I am still waiting for his response.
I feel frustrated as my little boy could by now do much better. Is anyone experience this situation. I decided to contact my Mp. What else can I do for my son to be finaly diagnose????
