Hi
My son is to be formally diagnosed with Autism at the end of the month at a team around the child meeting. The diagnosis was confirmed by the consultant, and he said that he would place on the middle of the spectrum. Now this is where I would like some advice and guidance - to what 'middle of the spectrum' is for others? and also when the offical meeting takes place should I be asking any questions or raising anything else at this? (My son is just short of being 3).
I have the DLA claim forms as the specialist HV suggested that I should apply as she felt he was eligable, but oh my - just knowing what to put in, and it varies so much weekly - some night I just need to settle him a couple of times a night (perhaps 5-10 mins max) and then I can get a week or more where he is up for 3+ hrs during the night wanting to watch beloved Thomas. - how to get this accorss - some say write it as if the bad happens and some say write the normal/average - which there is none, I wish I knew how much sleep I may get....?
With hope of some answers or suggestions.
Many thanks
