AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG??

[rainbow queen]

im talking about getting my son dx-am i missing something out or do they honestly not belive me?

im getting so tired with all my explaining and lists of stuff,falling on deaf ears.

appointment with autistic team speacilist speech therapist on nov 15, now let me guess?-i will have to repeat myself again-oh yeah and what will it lead to-nothing,if the past is anything to go by

this is going to be same woman who my son saw when he was younger[hes 4 now] and back then all she said was some things my son dose are autistic others not.

school is now involving occupational therapist[after id told them for 3 weeks-he will not manage at pe or writing/reading] all of a sudden they taking an interest after seeing his letter writing[like a spider on a page].

i live in north west area,and it seems folks in south get listened to more,or prehaps there just better trained

I understand, RQ, and I think we all get sick and tired repeating ourselvesto all the different specialists.

 

My son is also 4 and recently we've had his dx- ASD with additional learning disability. He can't even manage a pincer grip to hold a pen/pencil. But we've been offered no OT or physio for his obvious lack of co-ordination and....guess what? Yep, he's in a mainstream primary but having to come home from his Reception class at 11.30 every day due to lack of support. This will change in January when he must attend full time....I hope by then his statement will be back and he'll have 'appropriate support'. Ha ha ha .

 

Hang in there, RQ!

rainbow queen,

 

You have my sympathy, it's not easy.

 

Have you documented all your concerns, put together a profile of your child from birth? It's well worth doing this, keep updating it, keep copies and let the professionals have a copy. Record all difficulties, problems, strengths, behavious and any quirky ways. Any medical problems. It doesn't have to be long, bullet points will do.

 

Remember to keep copies of any letters or documents you receive.

 

Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Hopefully Suze will be able to help.
