Autism diagnosis?

Hi son (9) has finally had his assessment and met the criteria for an autism diagnosis.

Already had adhd confirmed last year. Ehcp in place.

Just wondering if any other parents can advice. Can I push for at least some one to one support?

I almost got laughed at last time I asked a teacher, so would rather seek advise before approaching school.

Any teachers that could advise? He is deemed to be okay in mainstream, no need for a special setting.

Ehcp due for review in December.

Provision, including 1:1, in EHCPs is based on needs, not diagnosis. An autism diagnosis alone won't result in a 1:1.
