Hi, I'm new

Hi everyone, I just found your site, my 5 year old DS is on the brink of being diagnosed on the spectrum somewhere. He's had 3 assessments in school with the educational psychologist, the latest yesterday he spoke to my son's teacher and say's he feels he's definitely autistic, on the spectrum somewhere, and wants him seen as soon after xmas as possible by the autism team. Waiting on a phone call/letter as he apparently needs our permission to refer him on. 

I can't help but feel guilty, I know really I shouldn't, but we can't help our feelings hey. 

Anyway, hi :D

  • Thank you for your reply, I will have a look through the site. I can't begin to imagine what help they could possible offer us. I can't imagine after 5 years there's any help I could need from them. That maybe because I've normalised our life, it is how it is, he is how he is, he's not really bad with it, so I wonder how helpful having an official diagnosis could be. I guess these are all things to discuss when we meet with this team. I think again normalising it blinds me to a lot of what his teachers/the psychologist see's which makes me think there's less of an issue.
