Confused with diagnosis process

KayT
Help with diagnosis process
Hi, my son is 6 and has been having problems since nursery (probably even before that but it never seemed strange to me). We've gone through a long process so far with family support workers, behavioural support, senco, observations etc. I recently completed a few assessments with the behavioural support worker who then took them back to their camhs nurse who scored them. We were told today that based on the scores my DS is now being referred to camhs for a tier 3 assessment. The 'results' that I have written down on the copy of the referral says this:

Conners Rating Scales:
ADHD Index - Teacher - 96% probability score
ADHD Index - Parent - 99% probability score
GADS Questionnaire - Score of 108
SCQ - 19

If anybody can give me some insight into what all this means as it's like a foreign language to me that would be great! 

Thanks
Parents

  • First of all peadatrician was going to diagnose him with high fcuntioning and sensory depending on what school said,however the sencos husband has cancer and shes not been in school much so pead diddnt get feedback.

    I went into school to see the head basically saying i wasnt happy,she said he is on the spectrum and i will sort something out with the pead,and obviously theres nothing till sept when they are back in school.

    I have a feeling if she doesnt get any info from school he wil end up getting autistic traits which i will not be happy with because i know its more.
