[devientenigma]

will post more when I get my head round the meeting, I'm still in shock!!

I'm curious................. sounds promising though xx

Ooooh! Can't wait to hear.

Devient you can't start a thread like that and then keep us waiting endlessly - you're not the LA you know

Oh so wanting things to improve for you, looking forward to hearing good news :)

sounds like good news!

oh, fingers crossed, devient. looking forward to hearing more when you're up to it

This isn't Facebook, you know. Put us out of our misery.

lol, bear with me my heads spinning..............it won't sound much to those who don't know me but those who do, would love opinions

The psychiatrist who discharged my son has now asked the psychologist to start the ball rolling for diagnosis..........not just the ASD, but the PDA and ADHD !!!!!

He also wants a meeting set up to make amends.

After all these years of fighting!!!

what changed his/her mind?

not yet Corn...............Iv'e told them, don't bother you've had your chance.

Think there's too many in agreement now, that he's not just down syndrome, social phobia, school phobia and autistic traits lol

you said it was PDA as well didn't you? you should put on some training for them!

it could all lead to nothing yet, or is that me cynical?

That's good news . I have had years waiting for a dx and see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel too. Hope you get it sorted quickly now.

That is good news! Hope you now can get the right support for your lovely DS and you x it is a good start.

fab news at last dev!

Oh Dev that is fantastic!

At last there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

If only they listened to you. But then we do a lot of "if onlys" where proffs are concerned.

I am pleased to read this :)

Great to hear some positive news for you Dev. I'm really pleased you finally have a glimmer of hope.

Really glad you are making progress at last x

Are they going to refer him to the Elizabeth Newson Centre/Sutherland House?

My ds goes to the school and they really are the best, listen to parents and consider their knowledge and experience invaluable.

thanks everyone

Insanity there is so much conflict around my DS, the GP has started the ball rolling for the funding for the ENC so we are awaiting that. However it's another bunch who has decided to go dx route.

That sounds great about ENC, do you know much about their assessment route?

No not really just know that when the the psychologist OT and SALT go into school they really know their stuff and their reports for AR are brilliant.
As part of the assessment I'm pretty sure the children go into school at times and the school staff are all lovely and seem to perform minor miracles with ds everyday.
In November he couldn't speak, by February he was speaking freely, he'd refused to go in a shop for about ten years and now he goes and buys his stuff independently.
If you have any say do push for ENC they will miss nothing and will advise you in the provision ds needs.

Things are finally moving in the right direction for you. Well done!!! x

That sounds really positive - so pleased they have started listening finally.
