Hello, our son who has just turned 8 was recently diagnosed with ASD. I have a couple of questions, would love opinions on any of them if you're happy to share.
As above I'd be very grateful for thoughts on any of these questions - many thanks in advance.
if hes been diagnosed shouldnt he already know?the steps and procedure for diagnosis means he already knows and was there, being taken to those places, questioned, and already informed.
Thanks for your reply Caelus .
Maybe it would have been different if we'd gone down the CAMHS route but all of the meetings and sessions we had were very discreet... and as a trusting then 7 year old, I don't think he really even questioned what he was being asked to do or why.
We were definitely advised that when and what he was told was up to us.
