Quick couple of Question Re CCDS feedback meeting

Hey all, been a while since I posted but I have been lurking and now I've reached the long awaited possible ASD diagnosis appointment for DS. I'd like a little advice please.

I got a phone call at the beginning of the week asking if I was ok to have a fill in peadiatrician do DS's parental interview and feedback meeting as his Peadiatrician is on long term sick leave. DS has already had the ADOS and I said I was fine with this as no one seems to know when she will be back and they then offered me both appointments on the same day next week, Parental Interview in the morning and then The feedback in the afternoon.

2 days later I got the confirmation letters for the appointments and on the feedback one it said that representatives from both DS's school and the family support service from Burgess Autistic Trust.

My questions are is this a good thing? do they ussually do both these on the same day and do they automatically invite some one from BAT if they aren't going to make a diagnosis? I'm a worrier by nature and I keep asking myself have they already made a decision, as both on same day doesn't really seem to give alot of time for the fill in Dr to really go through all the info from both interviews and if they have what kind of decision did they come to.

I'm a little nervous Confused any reassurance is welcome right now

I don't know the answer, but good luck for the appointment next week.

Maybe this bump will mean someone more knowledgable will spot the question & be able to advise you Smile

Thankyou youme. I have to admit that my nerves are getting the best of me. DS is 7 now and have been waiting for a long time to get to this point, having it sprung on me like this has got me all over the place. Not that I'm complaining mind.

I have read the letters properly now though, apparently they MIGHT be inviting someone form BAT if they feel it is appropriate but the other questions still stand, others I know who have been through this process have weeks between appointmnets, both in one day has me second guessing everything.
