School (teachers, Senco and external support), DH and I are all similar in our thinking that ds has high functioning autism. He is functioning well academically, struggles socially and school are putting in place support to help him in the school where he struggles the most. At home he genrally is wonderful, though we do recognise the issues in social/ group situations but we support him through these. We are now being asked about pursuing a diagnosis. I am really in two minds about this but can't pinpoint why. AIBU to feel this may not be the best route and focus on strategies to support him is more important? any advice?

Can I ask - would you go for diagnosis for suspected high functioning autism?
