I just got the best Christmas present posted through the door today

[Ihatecbeebies]

I have just received a letter from the consultant community paediatrician informing me that DS has an appointment on the 13th of January! I'm so happy, finally after all of my hassling and nagging the health professionals I've managed to get him an appointment, after being told I'd need to wait 6 years!

Thank you so much everyone for all of your advice.

thats great news!!!!!!! we have one for the 5th :) goodluck x

Thanks I've such a big grin on my face, finally my concerns are being taken seriously!

Good luck salad

Thats great that all the hassling has paid off!

Great xmas pressie! Good luck!

Yayyyyy! Good luck x

Be well prepared with your written list of concerns and your written list of questions, oh yes, and your written list of what you want the meeting to achieve!

Well done i hate, Sadly it is well known on here that you often have to go on and on and on and on to get anywhere with the Proffs.

Your persistance has paid off and I hope your appointment goes well.

Yours too salad.

Agree with ellen about notes, notes and more notes. The 2nd Paed we saw for Dd3 took one look at all my paperwork and said " No need to ask where the ASD comes from then!!!" Huh, don't know what she meant.

Sadly despite the fact that I think she knew Dd3 was on the spectrum, she failed to Dx her and I still had 2 years worth of fighting to go.

What ever happens on the the 6th good luck and keep fighting.

That's fantastic news! I hope this really helps you!
