jojo123

Hi

My names Jo and last friday my 5 year old son was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum . He has socio communication disorder but doesnt show many of the behavioural sides of autism eg he shows good eye contact , doesnt need strict routines, but does go through obsessions , his current one is dinosaurs. does anyone else have a similar child thats main problem is the speech language and understanding side of autism ? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated xx

  • hi Muddlingthrough - yes it is about funding/postcode lottery/recession.  Plus some local authorities created more services in the good times than others did, such as schools, respite care services.   That's what I'm getting at.  Wouldbe good if there was the same "assessment form" regardless of where a family lived which was used to genuinely meet their needs (which will vary), rather than assessments being influenced by what's available financially in a particular area.  Yes, it is unfair, to put it mildly.  We all have to be vigilant to protect what we've got.  bw
