DS 3.2 has very delayed language (expressive and receptive) and has some other issues re:social/imaginative play, such that he is on a waiting list for multi-disciplinary assessment (appointment date next Jan FFS). He has had a private SALT appointment. I think some ASD diagnosis is on the cards (everything I have seen on Semantic Pragmatic Disorder rings huge bells).
Since I took my head out of the sand as his 3rd birthday approached and his language didn't magically improve I have been quite miserable and pre-occupied about DS's speech problems and possible ASD. Is it normal to feel like this pre-diagnosis? How do I tell when it becomes an unreasonable level of anxiety?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

How do you tell when anxiety about your child's problems is becoming unhealthy/a clinical problem?
