Hi, after years of waiting for an ASD assessment for my now 13 yr old son, I had a phone call this week saying he’d met the criteria to be assessed in a clinic next week. On sharing this with my son, he said he doesn’t want to know if he is autistic or not. When I told the assistant on the phone, she said that he needs more time to process this so the appointment has been cancelled with a review phone call in a month. How do I speak about this with my son who is very reluctant to any sort of change? Any advice would be welcome as I’m feeling overwhelmed at the moment. Thank you. H
