It confirms hima s ASD, we new that. But we thought his speech was moving onwards- and rapidly so. however, it puts him as less than 1st percentile for both receptive and expressive language () and worse- it actually says
'If X makes only limited progress in the next few weeks all SALT support will be withdrawn'
So- hurry up or eff off?
Surely if heis now using some snetences and has moved forwards as theya dmit, just dumping him is bizarre???????
DH said alst time they spoke to him they said something about 'we can offer therapy atm even if he is ASD' but tbh I thought he misheard?
I know some poeple on ehre don't get SALT for their kids who are non-verbal and always thought that was shite but assumed DS3 would get some guaranteed as he was progressing . privtae isn't an option as I won't be able to work for a year after baby comes.
Didn't relaise he was quite so severe either . Know we've had to give in and buy a car harness and agreeed today to order older child reins but its all a bit- . he's never going to talk properly is he? he is quite bright in so many ways but if you can't talk- what then? They've written off PEC's / sigining in the past but sure if thats what he needs after all?
