Hi everyone, I'm taking my almost 4 year old DS to the GP today as since he joined nursery in January its become increasingly clear that he displays behaviours in line with some traits of autism. Nursery raised the concerns within his first week and it didn't come as a shock, but we're still devastated. It's not the end of the world, we totally know that, just I'm trying to get my head round everything and I'm looking for advice as to how I phrase it with the doctor? We have the full support of all nursery staff, they suggested we go to the GP as it might speed things up when they refer him at Easter. I have no experience of any of the processes, agencies involved etc so it's all just whirling round my head. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
