Hello everyone. First time I have posted on here so please forgive me if I am asking a question that has been answered several times before.
We have been going through the autism process for several months now & after filling in several forms(and long periods of silence) we have finally recieved a letter offering an appointment to see a consultant Paediatrician who specialises in autism. The appointment is for ourselves and our daughter and the letter states the appointment will last approx 2 hours.
I have read previous forum posts regarding what to tell your child AFTER diagnosis but wanted to ask what parents told their children prior to the assesment? I have no idea what the appointment will entail or whether autism will be mentioned to my daughter as this is something that we have never discussed directly.
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
