Diagnosis

NAS5775

Hey everyone!

I am very new to this and was just wondering if i could recieve some advice about my son.

He is now 5 and we have a history of AS within the family (dads side) we have just moved to a new area and hes recently started a new school. So far it has been a struggle getting him to settle and make friends. Ive always seen traits of AS but it is definitley more evident the older he is getting.  What help is out there and is my first port of call a visit to his GP for an assessment?

Any advice or shared experiences is gretaly appreciated

    Hi ASMUM 5

    I know that the usual route in gettiing a diagnosis is for you to speak to the school and ask them for their thoughts.  They would usually be the people that make a referral, but if that route isn't an option for whatever reason (ie, they don't see a problem) you can visit your GP and ask for a referral to be done for you.
