Hi, my first post here, hope its in the correct place!
My 11 year old daughter has recently been referred by paediatrician to ASD Pathway for assessment - he seems sure enough that she has Aspergers, I'm convinced she has!
So anyway, I received a copy of the paediatrician's report to GP, along with these ASSO questionnaires (one for parents, one for schoolteacher) - are these part of the ASD Pathway assessment? Just wondering, as I've been unable to contact the paediatrician this past week, what is "ASSO" exactly?!
Also, I'm concerned the teacher's "picture" of my daughter will conflict with mine as far as these questionnaires are concerned - she has been doing fairly well in her mainstream secondary school, and when I recently told her form teacher of her suspected Aspergers, he was really surprised, as expected.
Plus, such is the number of pupils/assortment of teachers for different subjects, none of them could possibly know my daughter well enough after such a short time! Any answers and advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks, looking forward to getting to know people here, learning more, letting off some steam etc. and hopefully being of some usefulness for others'!
