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, it's good to find people going through the same things.  My 7 year old is currently being assessed.  Our first visit to the doctor was in October last year for referral to the paediatrician and there have been questionnaires for school to fill in and observations at school and a speech and language therapist report done..... and still no idea what's going on.

    We're pretty sure that he has Asperger's but the next appointment is still 6 weeks away and we have still got no diagnosis and no help.  It's such a frustrating process.  School said all the right things and listed all the things they will do to help him - but haven't actually done any of them yet!

    It has been a very long 9 months.
