Recent Diagnosis

Hi my son was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum on 30th June by a speech therapist for autism, she has said that I will get another appt in 6-8 weeks time and he will be seen by a second specialist for diagnosis.  She says that the diagnosis has to be made by 2 people.  Help is this correct?  I feel like I am having to wait longer when I could and should be getting help.  Please advise.

  • Hi thx for comments.  Im just wondering when it comes to second diagnosis, what happens after that?  We are attending speech therapy and wee man is due to start in nursery in September.  I just wondered outside of that will I get any support or guidance? Ive read in articles were we are assigned to a team and support workers.  Dont know how true this is, does any1 have any info for me?
