  • Hi Malvi. 

    My grandson was 21 months old when we took him to our GP he had to many signs of autism for us to ignore, he was referred to a pediatrician  at our local hospital, the appointment took 3 months ,he was then referred to speech therapist etc. He is now 3 years and 3 months old and has just been officially diagnosed , we feel we will now get the support / advice etc we need for him. We felt quite alone not knowing anyone personally  in the same situation as us,please go back to your GP and request a referral.
