Ds doesn't have one yet but judging by the reports from SALT and the pediatrician it's looking like he is going to get one. He is 3.5 yrs old and his main problems being he has significant language and speech delay, poor eye contact and short attention span. He will look at other kids with interest but doesn't always join in - I have always put this down to his lack of speech holding him back. However the most recent report from the ped following her visit to his nursery suggests that he has made some progress since she last saw him but also mentioned a possible social communication disorder. This is another word for ASD isn't it? If I'm honest I feel terrified of getting the diagnosis but not sure why as ds is still going to be the same little monkey, nothing is going to change with him. And let's face it I have known for long enough that something is wrong. He prob has a speech disorder too. Anyway just wondering how you felt when you got the diagnosis? Did it change anything for you?
