4 year old being assessed for autism

Hi everyoneI've just signed up to this page for a bit of support / advisemy son is 4years old a few weeks ago I was called into his nursery about quite a few concerns eg behaviour social skills ect they then got someone from IDS (integrated disability services)  to assess my son in the setting, she said watching my son she'd like for him to be assessed for autism or asperges,  I've also thought there was something different as I have 2 other children,  not to compare, he can be very aggressive, and have random outburst if he isn't happy about a specific thing, he is not good with making friends and would much prefer to be alone,  he always seems to have a angry facial expression too even when I smile at him, he doesn't like to be approached without warning this can cause a huge scene if someone touches him,  when he's sad he will go and sit alone and will not want any cuddles from me which makes me feel quite sad, I've Googled everything and sometimes I'll think, yes he's got it and then other times I think,  no it can't be,  it's been on my mind since they first mentioned it and now the waiting game is horrible, I don't know what to expect or when to expect it any advice would be greatly appreciated I know there's a lot of people in the same position but sometimes I feel I'm the only one going through,  many thanks

  • Can I ask how come they didn't diagnose you earlier on in life,  and how you got diagnosed after such a long time,  sometimes I look at my little boy and he just seems like an everyday 4 year old and then other times I see something different,  and what exactly happens when your being assessed
