Hi, I am a single mum of a 4yr old boy who has recently seen a Pediatrician regarding social difficulties and violent outbursts.
We have since received a letter from the hospital diagnosing Social Communication Difficulties, Atypical Sensory Issues and Difficulties with fine motor skills.
The letter states my son will be discussed with the ASD board over the next 3/4m and they will decide if he is on the spectrum.
I’m so worried as his behaviour is getting worse every day he starts school in Sept and I don’t have another appointment till August with the hospital.
Can anyone tell me what I can do if he doesn’t get the diagnosis but is just kept under observation? Is there still support I can get?
Hi, sorry to hear that you have been left in limbo land with regards to a diagnosis. Maybe try phoning the helpline from this website tomorrow to see if they can offer any advice:
