Diagnosis

Hi there so it's just abit of a quick question. My son whom is nearly 3 got diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. Even though it came a big shock to my family and friends, I was kind of relieved and sort of just knew. We always had our suspicions of something as he wasn't hitting milestones. 

Well anyways fast track to now, my eldest child is 10 and she will be also going through the process of being looked at for autism or aspergus. Unfortunately things are going slow, but much faster then her last school:).

Anyways, when I mention things to people about my 2 children (out of 3) that some of it resembles me, which has now got my family suspecting that I may be. They  have asked if I have thought about being looked at. 

I was just wondering how would I go about looking at getting a possible diagnosis for myself? 

  • Hi. With me it was done via through the doctors surgery. My parents made an appt for me, took me along, spoke to the doctor and then the doctor sent a referral and that's how it all began.. 

    So why not make an appt for yourself and hopefully that will get the ball rolling for you :)
