Hi
My son had an assessment for asd yesterday. We await the results. He was expedited up the waiting list by two years due to suicidal talk. My ex...his dad attended the assessment but says a diagnosis would bring a label but no more benefit than having an ehcp....(of which we don't yet have...and have not even started applying).
I know schools sre legally bound to step up to provisions if a child is diagnosed autistic...does this legal binding apply as strongly with extra support in schools with sen if a diagnosis is not present? I am.trying to demonstrate to my ex how important a diagnosis is. Thanks
We had all the help from the school before we even knew my daughter was autistic. In any event, it transpired that she didn’t get a diagnosis from the NHS and the school support remained.
We got a diagnosis privately, ASD, ADHD and Dyspraxia 2 years later. The benefit of the ‘labels’ has helped her, and other who know her. Just like me. I was diagnosed in March. My ‘label’ has boosted my confidence. I’m not a defective NT. I’m a perfect ND.
I read yesterday that this terrible NT disorder is now affecting 9 out of 10 people! They have to congregate in groups for safety, it’s a worldwide problem!
Funny. It is a great shame (sarcasm)

Apparently their eyesight is so poor that they need lighting to be at a very high level just to see. It’s the same with volume, their poor hearing is terrible and they need to have volume up at a very high level. It’s a great shame. They have no special interests. You would think that there would be more understanding and help for them.
Very funny.
