Thanks so much - we've had so much to take in in a relatively short space of time (only since January) - it's a steep learning curve, isn't it?

Hi, I'm new to the group and have a 4 year old son, Calum. Calum has been referred to Speech & Language via nursery as they told us he "wasn't coping emotionally" (see below). The Speech & Language Therapist has had a meeting with both Calum and I and also been out to observe him at nursery too. At the follow-up meeting that my husband and I attended she said she thought it'd be worthwhile to refer him to the Community Paediatrician/Educational Psychologist for further assessment. When pressed she said she thought Calum is displaying signs of Aspergers. Having looked into this myself I can now see this may be the case and I wondered if anyone would be able to give me some advice as to what happens next or if there are any things I ought to be doing to assist the assessment - should I be keeping a diary/make a list of behaviours Calum has etc? Sorry for the rambling post. I just want to ensure my son gets all the help he can. Pamela
