My son is 10 and has a dx of autism. He ticks nearly every box for APD but my GP and CAMHS are reluctant to refer him for tests (I suspect due to out of county, budget type issues).
Where is the testing for this? Is it Sheffield or GOSH?
Are there any private clinics or can I refer privately?
My main concern is that this time next year DS will be going into a senior school with much less classroom support and a lot less help in terms of assisting him with verbal instructions, holding conversations, lisitening to verbal information that he will be expected to process, retain, etc.
Dont know how to tackle it, ideally I want to have it on paper IF he does have it, purely because I think it will be much more of an issue in a secondary school environment.
Any help and advice appreciated. (I'm juggling DS and work but will try to come back this evening).
