We have an assessment tomorrow for our 9 year old son.
If diagnosed with autism, I guess this will have to be listed on future job and university applications. I am concerned a diagnosis could be a hindrance. Has anyone experience of this?
The ASD clinic say that a diagnosis is not a route to other services, but they would signpost to guidance. But, I can find this guidance whether or not he is diagnosed. My son is 9 and he does want to understand his behaviours, but, again, a diagnosis is not needed for that.
Could a diagnosis potentially create problems, without actually helping much?
