Diagnosis

Hi, I'm reaching out for some support and advice. My 4 year old son has finally got his pediatrician appointment and its in 2 days time I have gathered together his report from the education psychologist, SENCO and speach and language therapist but apart from that I'm completely clueless as to what to expect with regards to the appointment! I desperately want to get this right for my boy he starts full time school in September and I'm terrified the support he's been receiving at part time school (nursery) will stop and he will be forgotten...can anyone advise me on what to expect?

Hello I have not been here for a long time, 

my daughter was diagnosed 2 days ago with high anxiety the clinical phycologist thinks that's what my daughter has. Me and her father have been going to the assessment Appoinments with her asking lots of questions when she was little, she is now 12 years, so it was very hard. Aaliyah was mostly with my mum then as I was working a lot of then. 

Hello I haven't been on here for a while but I just wanted to share our news. My son is 17 and we have finally after a long fight got a diagnosis of Autism and pathological demand avoidance disorder. It's been a long struggle mainly my son not interacting with them and finally we found a doctor who recognised Autism. anyway we finally feel we can understand everything now.

This is a study on behaviour problems and AD/HD symptoms in children and adolescents with ASD.

We would like to hear from parents of children with ASD who are aged between 3 to 17 years. You are still invited to participate even if your child does not have behavioural problems as we can learn a lot from your information on why some children present with such problems and why others do not.

Thank you!

Hello, My name is Haley Cohen.  I'm a reporter at the Economist magazine and the sibling of a wonderful little brother on the spectrum.  I'm hoping to do a series of articles on autism and would love to interview some parents of individuals with autism. I think I'll likely do three pieces on the following topics: 1) How workplaces can and should adapt to accommodate autistic employees. 2) The high costs of caring for autistic children.

Hi does anyone know of any  rhemotology conditions that can be related to/with Autism? or have experienced a condition themselves with their child? The reason I'm looking for this information is due to A blood test that has been taken for chromosomes which has came back and we now have an appointment with a paediatric rhemotologist.

I really don't know what to expect and we have to wait until May!

thanks for reading, take care
