Hi, My son has had an ADOS assessment which showed Moderate ASD traits, filled in a lot of forms, Q Chat (score 52), his language is delayed, no sentences, shouts at people if they say hello, has a meltdown if we walk a different route, leads me to and puts my hand on things he wants. Obsessed with numbers and alphabet.
I've seen PHN and the SALT got me to apply for an assessment of need and referred to the early intervention team.
So far though, I've received no help or a plan, and have heard it could take AGES, months even, to be assessed properly, then given 'treatment' which may only be a few SALT and OT sessions etc.
Manwhile, my son seems to be falling further and further behind.
But where should I start? What can I expect? Should I get some books, youtube, and just start doing ABA myself with my child?
