Well,we already knew DS2 was ASD, paed confirmed this at his very first assessment...
But have just got his ADOS (module 2) scores today, communication total of 8 and social interaction total of 13, giving a combined score of 21, severe autism :(
I just want to curl up in a ball and weep. How the fuck can paediatrician say he's 'high functioning' and would cope with mainstream schooling?
Added to all of this, nursery can only cope with him(and vis-versa) for 1 hour a day, I have to home-educate him, can't get him into a special school as there are no fucking places,and the LA is on a slash-and-burn special schools closure spree at the mo.
Fuckityfuckityfuck
Apologies for all the swears
