Due to go pick DS up from school soon and then it's off to the peadiatrician, this is the follow up appointment after filling in 3 different tick box questionaires and I'm nervous as hell becuase I've been here before, but DS was discharged (he was just gone 5 at the time) as his then teacher had put that he had no concentration issues after telling me he couldn't sit still for more than 2 minutes and that his issues were not really impacting his education, which is apparently far from true.

I'm terrified that she is going to discharge him again despite all the evidence that has been accumilated over the last year and a bit and that it will have a negative impact on the statment we have in the works that the school insists he needs :(.

Good luck.

Update when you're ready as to how you got on. Fingers crossed it's a better outcome than last time.

Fingers crossed everything went well for you :)

How did it go?

The pead is reffering DS to be assesed for autism, we started to fill out a form to start the process but ran out of time and she said she could finish it off with the notes she has taken from earlier appointments.

She did say she was only doing so on the weight of what the school and various other professionals involved with DS have said and their concerns.

I'm still not completely sure how this works though, will he get assesed based on how she fills this form out, or will that just get the ball rolling and the assesment will go ahead regardless, was a bit rushed at the end as the clininc closed at 5 so didn't have time to ask the questions I wanted to
