Assessment this month

LaylaG

Hi. Our 5 year old son is having his assessment this month as we and his teachers think he has Aspergers. I have a few questions for those of you that have got passed this point.

I am not sure what will happen with this and I really don't want to miss anything out when we speak to the peadiatrition. Should I make notes of his behaviour?

Also what will happen afterwards? His assessment is the day before he finishes school for the summer so when he goes back he will be in a different year with different teachers.

Thanks in advance

  • Hi Candy,

    Thanks for the update, it's great to hear that the appointment went so well, also good to know what kind of thing might happen when we get to that stage in the process.

    I actually found a form online that gives guidence to paediatricians about ASD referrals and another form listing the questions for a health professional to ask a parent/caregiver about the child with suspected ASD, and yes, there were lots!  Amazing what information you can find, the internet is a wonderful tool for research!

    I've typed up and printed out a long list of my daughters 'symptoms', for want of a better word, so that I can go armed with this information.  I'm hoping this whole process doesn't take too long, just to get the diagnosis, or not, and move on will be a relief.
