Our school has arranged an appointment with the above for our 11 year old ds. We're from the States and we've had countless appointments for diagnosis of his autism. Since moving here, it's not really counted but the schools tell us we don't need anything as he's not severe enough for a statement and it would be hard to get etc etc. We've pushed it anyway and getting to see a pediatrician for a diagnosis at least, so we can access services etc that he's not eligible for now.
What will happen at this appointment? What are they looking for? I will be really upset if he gets refused anything - as yes it's getting better with age but he still needs a lot of support in the classroom and at home, re: self help, still messy with toileting and would wear dirty clothes endlessly.
Anyway - what will happen?
