Hi my son has been through assessment for ASD inc ADOS and we are due to see comm paed for outcomes in next couple of weeks. School have already applied for statement for him and all their responses on medical quest etc were v similar to ours. It was school and speech therapist who first suggested we have him referred in the first place. I can't imagine that he won't be diagnosed but I feel like I am going crazy and keep thinking will they say no just rubbish parents or diagnose him with something else or will it turn out they something happened at birth, he was cs delivery etc, not that they would be looking to admit that I'm sure. In my heart I think maybe moderate ASD and moderate LD but what if its even worse than I think? I was in denial for a bit, not any more, but what if its worse than I've even allowed myself to think? He can seem so normal at times and yet in some situations he stands out like a sore thumb. Has anyone else felt like this? I think we have been lucky in a way, the process has been quite quick, six months but I am so nervous about the outcome now.
