Hi my son is 7 and has suspected aspergers. We have seen the community paediatrician a few times over the last few years and she is 99% sure he has HFA but obviously she cannot diagnose. The next step in our health authority is referral to the child development centre at the town hospital. We have this appointment in December but as yet nobody has gone into school to assess him and the paediatrician didn't mention this would happen at all. I am just wondering what I need to expect happening at this appointment in December is it just lots of talking and getting history down etc or does he have more formal investigations and observations with different health proffesionals. After we have had this appointment do we get a diagnosis or do they get an ed physcologist into school? Just wondered what the stages are to full diagnosis. thanks
