Hello. I am new to MN and thought I would say hello. My DS is 3.1 and does not talk other than the odd word although can say more he chooses not to. He had a Sadler assessment in Feb and has been referred to a number of groups in the local area which are helping with the social and communication issues that he has. Autism has been mentioned and he is due to have autism assessment v soon. I suspect that he is likely to be diagnosed on the ASD despite some conflicting behaviours. He is seeing an educational psychologist soon too and wondered how much we should push for him to be statemented? All the guidance we have had so far is from local professionals and would welcome any opinions so that we are not railroaded by them. Many thanks for your help.
