Nervous...diagnostic appointment tomorrow

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

Got a phone call this morning to say there had been a cancellation in the Communication Clinic here (DD was referred for an "urgent" appointment in September but they lost her referral.)

This is the clinic where they diagnose. We have been told unofficially that DD has ASD although we have also been told she will have to have blood tests at the communication clinic and maybe another EEG (they also haven't ruled out Landau-Kleffner yet).

I just wondered what to expect. Will they tell us the diagnosis tomorrow? What will they do?

Am stressing a lot about it, even though I thought I had accepted DD's diagnosis. It seems so sudden too, thought I'd have weeks to come to terms with going to the appointment!!

TIA

i mean it's like she physically can't speak some days, and then she can.

Hve tosay ds3 is a mystery type as welland was ocnsidered complex so maybe my take on mystery ain't the norm? Maybe erm amystery isn't one otme

Thanks.

I suppose its the physical side of it thats the mystery.

The professors last words to me were that although she "presents with symptoms of ASD they feel there is something causing it and affecting her neurology."

So will have to wait and see.

just hope its not something really terrible.

Could even be something treatable I suppose
