  • Just wanted to add to this conversation. My daughter is 24 yrs of age and I had loads of problems trying to get my daughter assessed for Asperger or Autism. Can I suggest that you go for an assessment that they stay at an hospital for 6 weeks assessment. The reason why is because having a child with Autism or Asperger it is hard to get a full assessmment because of their behaviours and also their OCD that they display. The child can either stay there for the night or be taken as day care. This then can help the child to build up trust and a routine, at first they don't like it but eventually the child is able to relax a bit more. Also the doctors have a better diagnosis of their condition. I find that two hrs spent with the child for a normal assessment doesn't give them the full picture. However with my daughter her behaviour was really bad, hence why it took so long to get her assessed but the outcome did show that she had the most complex Asperger they had ever met. Good to give it a go, but it is hard.
