@Asdmummyhere i called twice im guna wait till the 13th before i ring again, it just makes me more anxious when i ring about what sort of person is going to be on the other side 🌈❤️🤞if i was u i would keep ur eveidence incase u need to do a mr
I sent for my daughter, who is on the asd pathway and non verbal, reports from speech and language her mainstream nursery report and the speicialist nursery report, and got the nursery that had her most to write in application so fingers x thats enough to get us awarded 🤞🌈

My son 3 is on the asd pathway and thinking gdd too. Basically non verbal, says maybe 50 singular words but can not communicate. I sent paediatricians initial report as only seen her once. The early years forum acceptance letter stating he was getting an ehcp and other little bits from nursery stating his development was between 4-12 months in different areas. I now have his review from salt for his ehcp and his Asq results which all show black so I'd rather send them off before hand because I have an awful feeling about decline already. We had a video call with a educational physiologist which didn't go very well weeks ago and not even had that report yet. Emails after emails and no reply 🤦‍♀️ I have been told he probably won't get a official diagnosis for years xx

Hey all , sending positivity to everyone this week awaiting decisions or going to a DM , I’m 29/06 so another couple weeks for me yet! I know some people with late June early July have been awarded but I know realistically I’m looking at another 2.5/3 weeks before a decision is made I’m 17 weeks this Thursday coming ! anyone gone to a DM last week awaiting a decision ? What’s your scan dates?! Fingers crossed for everyone’s LO’s and pray everyone gets the decision that’s needed ! It’s a long hard wait but it’s nothing we can’t deal with ❤️🌈

@MummytoSENfreya hi would you mind telling me if yours is coc or new claim? Many thanks

MelTom88 · 23/10/2023 07:02

I rang Friday regarding my LB and she said his was 26/6 and she was sounding like she had already clocked out. But she did say it's at least a 19 week wait.
I said I'll ring in a couple of weeks and she said well there still may be no information to tell.
Maybe it varies from city to city, who knows 🤔

Hannahlou94xx · 23/10/2023 07:58
