mum22boys Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Hi, We have returned from M's assessment at the CDAC. He has received a diagnosis of ASD with possible ADHD as well. He needs to go on a seperate list for the ADHD assessment. Feeling glad that we finally have an answer. And the pead was lovely. She is going to visit the school to outline all his problems and tell them he needs lots of classroom support. mum22boys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Hi mum22boys, Although it might take a while to sink in, it must be a relief to finally get this news. Good news about the Paed - it really helps to have that kind of support behind you, especially if she's prepared to actually visit the school. I hope this is the start of better things for M at school. Take care <'> K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I truly hope all goes well for you, the paed. sounds like a good'un, and that's got to be a huge help. Take care. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mum22boys Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Thank you all. <'> Still have all the things the pead said whirling around my head and no doubt will have for some time yet. I just wanted to thank you all for the support. I will be going on holiday tomorrow so am having a break from the internet!!! Not having a break from the Autism though.
