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

  • If I had to deal with a GP like that, I would give her a piece of my mind, but I appreciate that this is not always advisable. However, you could tactfully raise the Autism Act - you have a right to an assessment and the GP has to refer you to the right person. If this GP is still hellbent on being so ignorant, then I think you have the right to request that you change GPs.
