Hello. My 10mo is missing some milestones especially around communication which concerns me a little, but he is generally behind across the board. He also has some unusual physical "quirks".
I've looked online at some questionnaires etc but they are seem to be American and talk about seeing your paed about early intervention etc.
Obviously the system here is totally different, and it seems most developmental delays and conditions like ASD (not saying my son has it, but he is showing some markers) aren't diagnosed or even assessed until much much older, like school age.
I wondered if anyone else had success in the UK getting an assessment done at a young age, and/or through doing early intervention therapy etc at home or with professional support. The evidence suggests early intervention pre 3 can make a big difference so if there might be an issue, I don't want to wait and see for too long.
I'd really appreciate any advice from those who have gone through this.
