Should I call HV back about referral form?

I am probably over thinking this
but DS has been seen this week by my (lovely and very good) HV as I had seen signs of Aspergers in DS.
HV agreed with me and said that certain things point to it but other things not so much, but she is more inclined to think he is so is referring him for further observation.

Now a couple of things I said to her, I now realise were not really correct after speaking to DH about it.
For example she asked me if DS is fussy with food and I said no, not really, he doesnt eat much but he's not too fussy'
Now DH says that DS is the fussiest child he knows! and I only didnt realise it as I know him so well and pander to him.
As soon as DH said it, I knew he was right.

HV is filling in forms for the referral (she said she has 11 page detailed reports to do) and now I'm worrying that the info will be wrong on the form!

So, shall I call HV and say 'have you done the forms yet as I told you some wrong things!' and risk looking like an absolute tit

or shall i wait and just explain verbally to the consultant when we get referred?

I would think a quick phone call would put your mind at rest, and a good HV wouldn't mind one bit. I think it is hard to think straight when talking things through, and re-think things later. I miss telling my ds doctor important things till its too late! HTH

When you get sent for your referral they will ask you loads of things so i would just bring it up then , as they will go through a lot of things with you then , good luck
