Hello every one! Hope you’re all doing well.
I’m just wondering if anyone has any insight in to wait times with the AMO for an autism assessment , I sent off all the forms for my 2 year old in March. Thinking maybe I’ll go private next year if I still haven’t heard anything.
Any advice welcome 🤗
Hi guys!
My son has just turned 2, I’ve suspected Autism for a long time now, but as he gets older it’s becoming more obvious.
He’s a happy funny little guy but has very little communication and speech.
He says open, ball, go but only when he feels like it and will sing certain Ms Rachel songs in baby talk.
But he doesn’t answer to his name, couldn’t care less about other children and won’t follow instructions. That’s just a few things.
I’m at home with him all the time and I feel completely out of my depth. He’s in speech therapy privately which has been helpful but other than that I just feel so sad and stressed all the time trying to help him. He’s on the assessment of need waiting list.
I guess I’m just looking to hear from other parents who have been through this? Any tips? Anything I should be doing? I try do the speech therapy with him at home but it’s difficult to keep his attention.
Thanks guys
