Hi, I'm new to this forum.
I've got 2 boys, the oldest (just turned 12) was diagnosed with AS at Christmas - now I know how my "square peg" fits into his "round hole"! I have my doubts about my second too, he's got some odd characteristics!
My oldest was taken on as an emergency due to the severity of his meltdowns, we were told that he'd need an assessment, but that the waiting list is at least 2 years! In the meantime, it's up to me to sort him out.
His school are trying to help, but need guidance. He's incredibly intelligent, but struggles to complete his classwork and homework. If they leave him for the next 2 years, may not do as well as he should academically.
I can't believe that nothing can be done in the meantime, I've been in contact with support groups, who have been helpful, but is this delay normal? I've written to the CEO of our NHS trust to see if I can persuade him to intervene and sort something out. Does anyone have any suggestions? We live in Hampshire.
I'm also now a single parent, (my ex blames me for the AS, so not much support there!) fairly new to the area, so any friendly emails etc would be welcome.
Thanks for reading this.
