hi all at dd2 last app with paed he said was going to refer to another paed to rule out autism/aspergers - she's 23 months. Anyway got letter today and it says " appointment will last about an hour. Your child will be asked to do some developmental tasks and may have a medical exam. You will be asked about your child's history and milestones".
Does anyone know what exactly they will do with dd at this app we have already had a Bayley scales assessment done at same place this app is being held but with a different person. Just wonder will be much of the same?? Never been referred to someone specifically for her behaviours before.
Also should I make a list of her early milestones and behaviours??
She will be tearing her hair out after 15 mins never mind an hour!
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
What will they do at this app?

Ellen is right on the med check. All they did with DS was feel his tummy, listen to his heart, weigh him and measure his height.
He is older so the pead gave him pencil case and asked him if he wanted to draw while we talked. He didnt but just asked questions about the contents of the case 
Then he was asked to write his name and then she drew 4 shapes and asked him to copy them underneath.
Milestones asked were, when walking, when talking, toilet trained, anything you noticed from baby that concerned you.
