Very surprised (pleasantly!) at efficiency of her team. Emailed a while ago. Got a reply asking for details of problems etc. Sent off. Didn't hear anything for a wee while. Emailed again. PA assured me that DK was on AL and would be in touch shortly once she'd triaged the referrals. I was told there would be a long wait. Emailed back today with an appointment for next month! Very pleased but also very nervous.
Been fobbed off many times through the NHS and school system. Anyone who has seen DK. How much weight does she apply to school reports? Part of the reason we've had such a woeful time is because of Schools insistence that he is 'absolutely fine'. (depends what your definition of fine is!) 
Are we going to be forking out this fee just to be told the same thing? 
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

We have an appointment with DK! :-)

I was hoping this was you when I opened the thread!
DK diagnosed my DD with ASD last week, well worth it imo.
I had an appointment with CAMHS this morning who said the diagnosis would be accepted and to chase up the report so school can finally be put in their place!
Glad you finally got an appointment 
ShadymyLady thankyou. I'm nervous now. It will all depend what ds is feeling on the day to how he will present. He will either be bouncing off the walls or won't say boo to a goose.
This is exactly what I said to the school. No body has ever done these tests and at least if they're done we can say we've done the best by him.
2boysnamedR I'm glad you've got some sort of answer. I Reallhave pe dk is as good as People Say.
We have camhs before the aopointment and I already know that will be a waste of Time. The Lady from the behaviour team will be there. You Know. The same one he didn't make eye contact with or talk to and who he growled at, and they suggested another parenting course all they saw. Yes them.
Apologies for spellings errors. Keyboard has mind of its own! 
I printed the forms off from the email that DKs sec had included in the Email and took them in and gave them to the senco by hand yesterday. Apparently his class teacher will be filling them in.
I couldn't forward the email to the school as requested.
They were going to send them off by post but I was thinking I'm going to be assertive on Monday and ask if they could email them back to me. As it there sent by post and they don't arrive I can't exactly ring up mid August and ask the school to send them again!
I couldn't forward the email on as my aunt was in the Conversation saying "don't go into all the Schools games and tricks they're pulling but do be clear to tell dk they are NOT on board with you". Had no idea how to alter the conversation view! 
I'm very impressed already to be honest, the questionnaires are lengthy and detailed so it's a lot more than just a basic big standard report that was sent to the Comm Paed. One of the Qs she asks what the school think is the reason behind the DCs behaviour. I'm intrigued to see what they write here because they have hung on to 'it's because of his speech delay" for years. Until the Speech Therapist said no. I don't agree. Then it changed to a parenting issue
This is going to sound awful of me now so sorry, but I actually think travelling to London will be worth it either way. They all say DSs speech has come on tremendously but at the same time, a lot of people still struggle to understand him. I'm expecting DK to still notice some of the struggles he will have as my Gran would say 'they talk properly down there' so will pick uP on it quicker.
Hope my post makes sense!
Yes it's the Sr from shadylady. Looking forward to what they say if they don't give it back to me as I want it returned electronically to SP so it doesn't get 'lost' before the appointment. Ironically. The first report from school for the CP went missing.
How's your health visitor birding ?
Try to get the nursery to write a list of concerns to take to your gp or health visitor. Ask them to refer you to the pead ( ideally a nhs one from the link above, if not you need a developmental peadiatrition or neuro developmental pead).
Now your list from nursery might be depressing but try not to worry. It's to highlight possible problems. You dc has many lovely qualities but remember that's not the pead will worry about
I could be a phase too. Three is hard work! But no harm in getting it checked out.
Stick around for help here if want / need it
Thank you so much 2Boys. I have no idea about HV, not seen one since DS had his 1-yr check (and that was the first time since DS was about a week old). We have a nice GP, I will go to see her once nursery have told me their concerns properly (we were about to go away on hols so it was a brief opportunistic meeting - need to follow up this week now we are back). I have been documenting what I observe about DS for that consultation but main thing is lack of conversation - he has ample language skills but just recites stories / Thomas episodes verbatim, does not relate to us other than issuing instructions. ot has just hit me like a ton of bricks that other than adding to his vocabulary, that hasn't progressed for about a year. And lots of repetitive and obsessive behaviour. And a whole load of other details. I will follow your advice, many thanks, and may also start a thread asking for some positive perspectives because I am feeling really devastated and just want to hold onto the joy I have always had in him. It's hard when you feel the rug being pulled out from under
