SIX YEAR OLD SON WITH ASD

puffin

Hi All,

New to this site, my son has not yet been formally diagnosed but his teacher called us in to shool ten months ago now after my son was struggling to settle into P1, she first suggested he was on the spectrum my husband and i were blissfully unaware Frown he is our only child and we live in a remote area so we have never really compared him to others!  We now meet every 3 months with his school and he is progressing and i am more confused than ever!!  i have read loads of books and still have more questions. I am sad and yet know how lucky i am to have my lovely child but i fear for him his naievity,his anxiety in new situations, he does not stand out from the crowd too much at the moment but i fear this will worsen with age.  I suspect Aspergers as he was not late in developement and is quite clever.  His school say not worth being formally accessed till he is due to go to high school as there is no more they can do locally.  At the moment they run a lego club, and do circle time to cover emotions, is there any thing else that can be done ?  They say they are dealing with any issues he has not been statemented, should i get him assessed?  It is just i have read early intervention can be a great help and i want to do all i can.

Thank you

  • How confusing for you , you realy need some answers .If you meet with your gp and request a referal for diagnosis then that could start the ball rolling . There is a wonderful supportive organisation called parent partenership if you are not aware of them google to find your local one , they will give you advice and codes of practice for your child if they have any special educational need however big or small x We had to wait 4 months for r referal it was well worth it tho , if you have noticed any unusual behaviour in your child note them down an take notes .As this will help them get a bigger picture x After 8 months months my 4 year old son shuld be getting his full diagnosis this months but even at 1st visit with notes she said she was nintey percent sure of asd .I would say he is in the middle of the spectrum sumwere so it dosnt always mean you will have to wait years for answears .I have a full time ta for him in school and they have gotten lots of extra funding to help him since he started .I wish you good luck with your journey xx
