Got the appointment letter today. Next meeting with the paed was to be scheduled for the autumn ( in october she had said).
Now it is booked on the 12th of august!???
All sorts of questions going through my mind...
Is it because she finaly got the reports from senco, salt and nursery and it's not good news! (all mentions of obsessive and ritualistic behaviours, poor social skills, sli,...)?
Or is it because she's been informed that ds is due to be assessed by an Ed.Psych. soon or later following senco referal (we're on waiting list)?
At the first meeting back in April , she gave a verbal dx of "mild asd", she said she would "put senco on the case", and wanted reports concerning ds' speech, and social skills.
Then concluded this first appointment by saying she wanted to give ds a few more months ('til october) to see if any positive development of his speech would have a favourable impact on his social interactions.
On the report that followed the appointment, she mentioned the asd, and wrote the next appointment would be a review to discuss if there is a need for a formal autistic assessment. (i assume this depending on the observations made by senco, salt, and nursery staff)
Do you think she wants to see us earlier because the reports were bad news and she wants ds to be formally assessed?
I'm so worried.
I was looking forward to a couple of months of breathing space with no senco, no EP, no paed. , no more observations and reports. Now it's all gone tits'up , in less than 3 weeks the dreaded paed. appointment is looming!
