Mild ASD

Need some guidance to help our 7 year old daughter with possible Mild ASD.

When our daughter is 3-4 years, she went through SALT and ASD assessment and as she showed some progress she is discharged at that time. And the pediatrician said she is at the border of ASD and may need further assessment when struggling with social situations. Now she is 7 and we have noticed believe she is struggling in school in keeping with other children.

She exhibits behaviors like Repetitive questioning, Difficulties in social communication and making and keeping friends, relies on other children, copy other children, trouble in focusing and Anxiety etc. so school SENCO is arranging for ASD assessment. While we are waiting for ASD assessment am I look for some guidance /suggestions from Parents who went through a similar situation and what steps we need to take to help her.

Thank you

Best Regards

Hi Jack,

We have some resources on the site you might want to have a look at that cover the diagnosis process and what to expect from the assessment, which you can find in our guide to diagnosis for parents and carers here - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/pre-diagnosis/parents-and-carers

If you need help and support directly, the information for our support lines can be found here - https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support - although our Parent to Parent line is unfortunately not taking new referrals at the moment.

You might also want to look in our Autism Services Directory, where you can search and filter for different types of autism services in your local area, to see if there are any parental support groups near you, if you are looking to speak to other parents about their experiences - https://www.autism.org.uk/directory

Hope this is of some help,
