2 years after arguing with M,s consultant

[JenRose]

hello, some of you may remember that M who has AS, had the asessment at CAMHS 2 years ago and 1 consultant said yes to AS and the other (boss) said

no, he had severe anxiety and traits of ASD not fully blown.

 

So we went private, however i wrote to the boss and asked her how she could justify her non-dx of M based on a 45min ADOS test.

 

Today i received a letter saying:

After talking to Mrs W and going through M,s file i can now confirm that his dx is Pervasive Developmental Disorder.

 

so, at least i now have it in writing from the NHS.

 

Now this is the LEA,s main form of defence against me for the tribunal, the fact that there wasnt an NHS dx so they didnt see why they should put him in

an independent specialist school.

 

so i shall add it in my case statement which has to be in in 3 weeks and when the LEA get their copy we shall see what happens

Two years...two years !!!!!!

I wish I could be fly on the wall when the LEA get the NHS DX .

Guess everything comes to those who wait. I truley hope this is all sorted out very quickly for and you get all you need for M.

i know i can just imagine her face!!!!!!!

 

the amount of times she,s said to me "but he doesnt have AS/ASD, the CAMHS psychiatrist says so, we can only accept a dx from an NHS doctor

do you know, if we all got together we could conquer the world! So many fights we have to go through, so much strength needed & we just keep on going. <'> to all facing this kind of **** at the moment.
