after assesment

my 11 year old recently had the ados assesment with camhsi got a phone call today to say my son scored high from the things he struggles with at home but as for in the assesment and at school he didnt score any im feeling quite low and that i have some how let my son down :-( i have fought from him been 2 up to now for them to even accept that he should have the ados and now i dont know what to do and which way to go. he is due to start high school in sept and because they cant diagnose him he wont meet the criterea for funding for support in school and will have to go through high school basically doing it on his own . will they re asses him if he gets to high school and the school decides he needs it or do u only get one shot at the ados assesment

  • thankyou for ur coments as a parent i know deep down i will never give up because if i did that id be giving up on my son and i will never do that. and yes your right my son has had 11 yrs of having to keep it together in situations that he doesnt find easy that now he masks it really well and he has only been seen for 50 mins out of 11 years and i have struggled to get him to the level he is at today and i know he doesnt show hi true self or struggles easy. his peaditritian has known him for the last 9 years and he only showed concerning behaviors last december so part of me isnt surprised they didnt see that he is quite different to peers of his age group.
