We are on the waiting its for and autism/add assessment for my dd aged 8, she doesn't have friends, doesn't interact well with people, lacks focus, appears agitated a lot of the time and is having problems at school and home (and dancing and Cubs...)

I'm looking at getting a private ados assessment done has anyone done this before, can you reccomend anyone? How much did it cost? Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks Frog x

It depends what you want the diagnosis for. We got two of our children diagnosed via the NHS. Our six year old has an ehcp and did so a year and half before her diagnosis. My youngest is three and a half and we are in the process of applying for an ehcp and she had her diagnosis in June. I've found an ehcp is based on needs rather than a diagnosis. Also some LEA's prefer them to be from the NHS.

An educational health care plan. Its been brought in to replace what was a statement. So basically a document detailing the needs of your child, targets and strategies.

We don't have one of those. We have asked. We have a meeting about her iep? But school are struggling with her, as are we. She came home tonight and said I just want to have a friend. It's heartbreaking
