jools Report post Posted June 20, 2006 camhs came to our home tonight and explained that the asd clinic met last week to discuss G and have dx ASD. i was speechless, not because of the dx, but because we weren't expecting to get into the clinic till end of year at the earliest. i just wasn't prepared! they pushed him up the list and went ahead without us its a strange feeling. even though we 'knew' to be told officially is very strange. i hardly uttered a word when they were here.....not like me at all!

cmuir Report post Posted June 21, 2006 Hi Know how exactly how what you mean. I've been battling for a long time to get my son diagnosed. When we finally got a diagnosis last month, I started sobbing in front of the consultant. She was so apologetic! I explained, in between breaths, that I was relieved at getting the diagnosis ? I was petrified she was going to say 'don't know what's wrong' and we'd end up being passed from pillar to post. This is the end of one major battle. There will be others, but you've overcome the biggest one! Best wishes Caroline Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
