Community Paediatrician Help!

Hi Everyone.

Entering our 10th month of being on the waiting list for the Community Peadatrician so hoping that we are nearly there!

i was just interested to know what to expect from the first appointment.

my daughter is 2.5. Under the local SEN and at nursery, a child centred planning team is in place and she also has SALT.

thanks so much

Hi NAS69850,

If you're going to the paediatrician to have an autism assessment or to discuss getting one, and you want to know what to expect, we have a page on diagnosis for parents which covers several different aspects of the process - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/diagnostic-assessment/parents-and-carers

Hopefully this is of some help to you, you can also try the NAS helpline if you'd like to discuss this with someone directly. The contact details are found here - https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/contact-us

Best wishes,
Ross - mod
