@Gemma96x Well I thought I sent in my sons letter of autism diagnosis,but they rang me last Monday to ask what school my son goes because I forgot to fill that part out ( I have baby brain) and she told me I didn't send any letters in so they only went off what I wrote down and what ever the school SENCO have said to her x

Just got off phone after 30 mins wait. Scan date of 1st August. Lady said we have been awarded for my daughter on 3rd November and letter in post. Not received any text. Been awarded LRM and MRC. Told it takes 3 days to get to bank. Awarded until July 2024. Her autism assessment started on 1st August so I did not have any reports to submit at the time I completed the form and I havent been asked to send anything either. Hang in there everyone and thanks for this thread - it has kept me sane.

Mummytosixgirls · 07/11/2022 14:24

My daughters been diagnosed with a learning disability but I didn’t put it on the form as she was diagnosed after I’d posted her form should I phone dla and tell them I don’t have any evidence yet as her report hasn’t come. X

@Gemma96x no I didn’t get a text I just called them.
I don’t think it matters, as long as you outlined all his difficulties, they would call you to ask for further evidence I think!

Ok thank you really nervous now for my son. Hopefully not long but the women said she can't say when it will be prob be another 2 weeks xx

@Gemma96x it was aug 3rd.
I sent in the ADHD diagnosis report and medicine prescription and letter awaiting ASD assessment, plus school senco wrote something.

Ok thank you I'm 3rd too... but heard nothing I really think my sons not going to get it due to lack off evidence has I just sent his diagnosis of autism dsm-5. Did you receive a text message I phoned this morning to be told its not even with a dm yet but she said it should be soon xx

Thirdtimelucky93 · 07/11/2022 12:06

@Gemma96x

My son does not have a diagnoses, I only sent in his speech referrals etc in. He is non verbal, doesn't even know what time of day it is or understand any words. Won't respond to words, underweight etc.

He does have a ASD(heart condition) which requires open heart surgery and a lot of care as hes constantly in hosptial due to infections/injections/consultants etc. He's on medication to stop him having heart failure. I think he has austism but I'm going private as I'm not waiting 2 years for a diagnoses.

All I sent was all that evidence and that he has mobility car via family fund as hes under 3.
