I have been invited to an initial assessment (via zoom) and they have asked that my son is present - but I cannot find out what they are going to ask him in the meeting. When I rang, the receptionist told me it was to go through the forms I filled in but I wouldn't want him to see what I wrote on the forms as he might be upset as it tackled some tricky subjects. I am reluctant to involve my son as I have never mentioned to him that he might be autistic. Is it better to broach the subject or will the paediatrician just ask some basic questions and not mentioned th 'a' word? I don't really want him to know - I was just going to say it was a basic developmental assessment.
