don't understand

hi i got the report today and it said

 

we would agree with you that my son meets the criteria for an autistic spectrum disorder they discussed there thoughts about him to senior colleagues woh confirmed ther view that my son is on the autistic spectrum

 

then goes on the say it has 3 broad areas

flexibility of thought

social interaction

communication

then it says although it is recognised that he has areas of strength and skill the purpose of this report is to determine whether these difficulties fulfil the criteria for an asd  therefore if this report appears skewed to my sons difficulties this is to enable those in his life to better understand his needs

 

what i dont get is in one hand saying has asd then saying he hasent am i rght or am i missing somthing any help trying to understand this would be greatfull as she is out till next week and we have an appointment with her a week tomorow thank you very much

    From the first bit it sounds like they are summarising and giving your son a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. After that, perhaps they are detailing how they arrived at the diagnosis - exactly what his difficulties are in each of the 3 areas.

    Did they do an ADOS assessment?

    Is there a section in the report with the title Diagnosis?
