I'm a long time lurker. Hoping the good folk of mumsnet can help me out. My lovely quirky DS in year 6 has always been a little bit different. He's a bit Aspie but doesn't have a formal diagnosis. He has seen various professionals over the years but no fast and firm judgements have ever been made. Feel like we've been going around in circles for years.
He's a very happy laid back chap, comfortable in his own skin and is his own person. He sees himself as like everyone else and doesn't think of himself as different (he is!). He's had an Ed Phy assessment done which supports an ASD dx but we'd need to get another professional to back this up to get a formal dx.
I worry about him starting secondary school. He's average academically, well behaved and I fear he will just fade into the background.
Do you think a formal DX of ASD will guarantee additional help in Secondary ? I'm hoping the Ed Phy report should provide the information that will help him be supported from the academic side.
Thanks for reading.
Apologies for the daft username, I got a bit fed up tring to create one that wasn't in use.
