Hi all,
I’m looking for some advice regarding my 2 year old son.
We are just starting the process of having him diagnosed ( with possibly a high functioning autism).
I’m keen to have a few questions answered please if anyone has recently been through a diagnosis…
We have recently briefly spoken to a doctor but what is the next stage? Will we receive a questionnaire to fill in and then be put on a waiting list and if so how long did you wait for your/ your child’s first appointment?
How many appointments do you usually attend?
Does anyone have experience with taking their young child who has anxiety over enclosed spaces to their appointment? I’m worried as my son refuses to even enter a room where he feels trapped and can’t get out. He probably wouldn’t actually be able to be assessed because he would be screaming the whole time to get out the room( just as he usually does if I take him to doctors/hospital etc.
I’m sure they are used to this but just wondering if anyone has experienced this?
Thanks for reading!
