What happens after a diagnosis?

Hpsaucy515

Good evening all, I do hope I have posted this in the correct area, I apologise if I haven't...

My name is Helen and I joined the forum today to get help and advice for myself and my son Ollie. 

Ollie is 2 and a half years old and hasn't been formally diagnosed with Autism yet but his doctor says from the list I wrote and gave her of all the things Ollie does that it is highly likely that he is Autistic. 

We are currently (still) waiting for the referral to come through. 

Ollie has a hearing test next week, NOT looking forward to that! And he starts speech therapy 2 days after his hearing test...

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what happens after a diagnosis is made as this I am at a blank about.. I haven't a clue what will happen next for my boy (or even myself)

Thank you all for listening to me rant on, any advice grately received.

  • Hi there, thanks for your reply. I know for a fact that they won't get much of a hearing test done on my son as he will NOT want to sit on my knee and he won't leave whatever they put in his ear actually in it! 

    The speech therapy lady is coming to our house as it was group therapy of about 6 children and Ollie won't like that plus it finishes 15 minutes before I pick my son up from school and as a non driver walking about 3 miles in 15 minutes isn't going to happen! 

    I'd like the Paed to pull their fingers out and get on with his appointment I haven't heard a thing from them! :-/
