Ds (9) got an ADHD diagnosis a couple of months ago and is doing well on his meds; not been in trouble as much at school and generally calmer. Got a last minute cancellation appointment this morning for an autism assessment (was initially told the wait could be up to 18 months!) and they've diagnosed high functioning autism and given me lots of websites etc to look at.
So, what now? I'm going in to talk to school later - will this diagnosis mean we can now access more support for him? I can't work out how I'm feeling at the moment!
