Tomorrow we have appt with the paediatrician at which 8yo DS's disagnosis of ASD (Asperger's) will be formalised. (We were given a diagnosis 3 months ago but it couldn't be formalised because not all the reports were in from school etc.) Given how long you have to wait between each appointment, I am desperate to make the most of this one, and get as much support agreed to as possible. I get a strong impression from these threads that parents really have to fight for everything, and sometime support/interventions aren't just 'offered up' straight away. The trouble is, as I'm so new to this, I'm not sure what I should be asking for!! If anyone could offer advice on how to get the most out of this appt I would be so grateful. Any thoughts on what you wished you'd be told yourself in advance of your DC's diagnosis meeting, and what you wished you'd asked for earlier. I know everyone's situation is so different but it would still be great to hear!
