Karen A Report post Posted October 12, 2006 I can understand your anxiety especially when you have a child with Asperger syndrome.The differences you describe could be due to many things-not just ASD for example anxiety.See what others say but I think if school are not interested it may be worth talking to your GP to see if you can get an assessment that way.Even if the school do not feel there is enough ask for further advice you can ask as a parent.Karen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bramblebrae Report post Posted October 13, 2006 Hi I'm not sure who is best to ask for an assessment from where you are. Here it was via the school doctor my son got assessed at the local assessment centre. Now again new or continuing worries have come up it is another school doctor who is referring us back to the clinical psychologist and occupational therapist. Anyway whether it is through your GP or the school doctor I would just explain that you have always felt your DS was a little different from his peers and now having gone through your DD's assessment and learning about aspergers you recognise alot of the behaviours he is displaying as fitting aspergers or autistic behaviours and due to their being a genetic link aswell you are worried he may have gone undiagnosed and feel he needs an assessment asap. Do you think something like that would sound ok?- also tell him/her the behaviours you described above. take care Lorraine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
