Hi, I have been lurking for a few months. Mainly because we had not had an offical diagnoses for our 3 year old dd and I didn't feel I could jump in and say anything.
We saw the consultant and other specialists earlier this week, and confirmed she is on the autistic spectrum.
I am relieved in a way, because I knew deep down that it was something like that. (I am an NNEB and had worked with children for a long time)
We adopted her when she was a baby, and there are further complications as well as the ASD.
They think she should have a blood test to look at her chromosones for mental health issues and learning disability as well as running a test on attachment, and all this has unsettled me as I had come to terms with the ASD beforehand, but had not expected this too.
