DS3 is 3.5years. We've had concerns since he was one. He's being assessed for Autism over three two hour appointments. It says ADOS on the sheet. We were last saw in the holidays where he was still non verbal, but over the summer his speeh has come along loads, echos an awful lot but does actually talk on his own to :D
The thing is we've been working really hard on his name (lots of picture work) and also saying hello (still hit and miss but a huge improvement to before) I guess my worries are what if he passes the ADOS part because of this? Do they go by anything else, we have the report from pre school which details his complete lack of social skills, obsessiveness, routine need and anxiety) but what happensoff its just this ADOS that counts for anything? Six months a go it wouldn't be an issue as he literally didn't interact but now he will on his own terms.
I'm so scare did failing him at this final hurdle. My little
man needs the doors opened for extra support, I'm so worried we won't get it.
