hi first time posting but have used the website so much!
we are finally at the assessment stage, taking place this week and next. Part of me feels relieved but for the most part scared. What if they say no he hasn't got asd? He has seen alot of proffessionals previously who all said asd traits but they aren't allowed to say autism only the actual clinic can do this.
He has one to one support at school- main stream. Friends and family all know him as having autism and at school if anyone asks about his behaviour or why he has one to one we have just said that he's autistic and just needs a bit more support.
Where do we go if 'they' don't think he has it? Everything we have read screams that he has it. His behaviour can be off the charts and we manage by using pecs and a rigid structure. So he does present as 'normal'. I am just so stressed and worried he and Us won't get the help.
would really appreciate some advice.
thank you
