Hi
I live near Chester and my 11 year old son was diagnosed on Sunday with High Functioning Autism. We suspected for quite a while about ASD but it still came as a blow to us.
We had to go private for the assessment as we were told we would have to wait 10 months to be assessed via CAMHS. Feeling lost and helpless now. Not sure what to do next and very keen to speak/meet people in same position.
Good evening. Im near wrexham and have a 6 yr 0ld with we believe adhd and asd of some sort. she is with camhs at the moment after a 7 month wait. i was told not to go privately as the schools wouldnt accept a private diagnosis. Would be great to hear from someone else so close. i am aware that wrexham has an asd meeting which i emailed today so maybe it might be something you could look into and might give you some other people to connect with either in the wrexham area or chester might have one as well?!
