don't understand

all i can suggest is asking them to clarify what they mean. which you are entitled to do, a letter with no acutal human contact and advice and with confusing contradictions isnt any better than having no diagnosis

as you wil be visiting her next week, you can do that, id just leave the letter out of it for the moment untill you can talk to her directly and ask her what that all means.

and you are entitled to say the letter isnt very clear and that even on the national autistic soceity board it was a debatable subject and maybe advise them to maybe consider making it clearer inthe future for other parents/familes etc, as their job IS to work with autistics making thing clear SHOULD be something they do already in my view

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 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

 

id point out that these parts are the confusing parts, as you say, it says they agree with him having it, but then say the report is to determine if he has it, so it is contradicting
