Point scoring

mumof4boys772

Ok we have been going round in circles for ages, had an emergency appointment with Cahms and they have said my son needs an Asd assessement, so i went to the Gp and asked her who would do it, she said school, however at the same time she said the peadatrician had said m son has not scored enough points to be on the spectrum, (Gp has always said he is and its obvious)

Anyway what points does he need to be scoring? and what does it take to be diagnosed, i mean what is the criteria?

Thanks in advance for your answers x

  • Then you need to understand the paediatrician's understanding of AS, and how they arrived at 'not enough points'.

    Given that CAMHS say he should be assessed, you need to be seeing your GP and pressing for a referal.

    I know of no school that offers ASD assessment, although your GP might be saying that if school make the request for assessment, it will happen sooner. However, because they see your child in a 'social setting', often teachers have valuable observations to make.
