Hello, my son was recently diagnosed with dyspraxia and verbal dyspraxia. The paed thinks he has some traits of asd that he would like to investigate further with a school visit. We are paying for this privately because of the year long waiting lists round here.
My question is, would a diagnosis of asd be useful or not? In terms of getting him more help at school.
My consern is that his shyness may be misdiagnosed as asd and I'm worried he will get the wrong kind of support. Or am I over thinking things?
I would really appreciate some advice...
