My son was initially in a unit attached to mainstream, which he loved for nursery and reception years. When he moved into year one things started to go down hill, and he just was not coping and was unhappy. He has since moved to a 'Special School', and he has started to love school again. He is now in the right enviroment for him and his needs are being met.

Like Aro said, you will be discharged a few hours later, once your Jay as come round sufficiently. Every one who is having an MRI scan is expected to be at the hosptial for 7am. If you let the hospital know that Jay has ASD, they will probably schedule you in first, so you will not have to wait around as long. They did this for us.

<'> <'> Try not to worry, it is best that the doctor examines all pathways in order to get the best treatment for Jay. My son has had a couple of MRI scans. He was given a general anaesthetic for both. The second one was at 'John Radcliffe' in Oxford. They were brilliant.

You can get higher mobility at three years of age, but due to your son being high functioning - I do not think he would qualify. If I remember rightly, your child has to have a severe mental impairment, has challenging behaviour and in reciept of the higher level care component. Due to your son being high functioning, his mental impairment would probably not been seen to be severe enough. At the age of 5, he should be able to receive lower rate mobility - if he needs extra assistance in getting out and about than his peers.

'A' was delivered by C-section due to being breech. He had hypogycemia (even though my blood sugars where normal) and as a result was admitted to special care and tube fed. He was also monitored for having a large head - his head circumference was 40.7 - same size has an average 11 month old. His head was rather squashed at the sides as well. Which indicated he had been breech for a long time (although my midwife had insisted that he was not) and that his head had been lodged under my ribs. Looking back, 'A' probably showed signs of autism at birth. While resting with him leaning against me - he suddenly flung himself backwards - I nearly dropped him. I just remarked at the time has how strong his back was - but it is not normal behaviour for a newborn.

My son used to be passive until about 12 months ago - the school he was in at the time understood the problems and said it was quite normal for an ASD child to be fine at school and then play up at home. Over the last 12 months his behaviour got worse, and all concerned agreed to a school move. He now acts the same at school as he does at home.

Dogs for the disabled are also doing a pilot scheme, providing children with autism an assistance dog.

It is possible to get dla for children under three - my son was awarded higher rate care at 2 years and 6 months of age. From reading all the threads on DLA, I know we where lucky to be awarded higher rate care immediately. When my son was 5, we then got awarded higher rate mobility - with help from a welfare rights adviser.
