What on earth is 'Genetic investigation'???

Finnian

Hello, my 7 year old boy is currently going through the assesment stages. I recieved a letter that may as well have been written in German!! I don't understand the terms used., anyone know what these are? 'ASC pathway'? and 'CAF'? Also, they are asking for an appointment with him for 'Genetic investigation'?

not even understanding the letters they send has left me feeling really frustrated...How can I make the right decision for my son if I have no idea what they are on about??!!!! Thankyou everyone

  • Well no-one has ever explained anything to me properly....maybe its time to be a tad more forceful and get the awnsers I need. Hmm maybe autistic spectrum 'condition' is less severe than 'disorder'...?

    Its silly to sit here guessing, i'll see what I can find out

    Not to happy about the 'testing' there does seem to be something quite 'guinea pig' about it, but maybe i'll change my mind once I have more info.

    I have no idea who is supposed to be 'assessing' my son...They say it is a team and not one individual, I can see why they do this, but it does complicate matters for the family. We have never seen the same person twice, as they dont stay in the same job for long....all ive wanted...for 4 years now...is to get some straight awnsers from an actual person...still waiting.... I shan't give up, just get more forcefull! :)

    Thankyou for your reply, its definately helped!
