Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.
Good news here as well!
(20 Posts)Just got the results of the CARS (childhood autism rating scale) test for ds1 which BIBIC did.
He came out as 34 which is mild to moderate autism!!!
Hooray!!!! I'm really pleased, was worried he would come out severe! Beaming all over here.
I am so pleased that you got that result- just shows how well he has responded to all the hard work you have put in and also "well done" to 'MiniJams' for doing so great too!!
Really pleased for you Jimjams
Well done to your son+
Really pleased for you both.
Not sure its well done to him really- it's just where he is on the spectrum (its never been officially measured before). it's just that I've wondered and often thought he could come out as severe (especially as he's non verbal). Then if I've thought he wasn't severe I've wondered whether I've been kidding myself. I never thought the word mild would feature at all so that's a very pleasant surprise. He still has other problems of course- they're just not autism.
yes I'm sure 'mild' has it's own 'spectrum'or 'range' too!!
jimjams thats lovely
That's really good to hear!
That's the best news of the week
I'm really pleased for you all.
Good excuse for a curry and a really good bottle of red tonight I think! - What will you be having!!!

He sounds a great boy. The lack of language is obviously a problem for him and for you, but he's beautiful and sweet and loving. I hope he continues to give you wonderful surprises
That's great Jimjams!!!!
How did you get to see BIBIC? I went on their website but it wasnt working properly Did you have to pay for it?
Yes you do have to pay for it, although you can fundraise and that can specifically be offset against your bill. And they do offer bursaries.
usually you ring them, and then they do a phone interview to see whether they can help you. The first assessment is 3 days and follow ups are one or 2 days.
It's very good for helping with sensory issues and motor problems. We also had a great SALT report form there which helped us access more help down here- so that was useful. They do understand autism which is also helpful!
Best news I have been given all day! Hugs to you both!
Glad to hear your news.
Did you ask for a CARS test or do they do it as standard. We are going to BIBIC in July. I'm excited already
Rex and Ben, the website hasn't been working properly for a while best to call them.
Great news Jimjams. I don't know if we ever had CARS, I know we had various Vinelands, McArthurs, Bayley scales etc. TC, how can you drink red wine with a ruby? Its go to be beer, nice and cold, mmmmmmmmmm
Oh, I'm so pleased jimjams! He so obviously has such a lot of lovely qualities, and that's great news aswell.
Sorry I haven't replied to your email yet, nothing concrete to report yet, but I am looking into it.
Oh Jimjmas, how FANTASTIC
