Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I have heard from many people at our local autism parenting group that they wished they had had their children diagnosed earlier on. At our CDC centre they seem to think that you can't diagnose autism spectrum until 7. My son is due to start mainstream school in September and I wonder whether a formal diagnosis would be prudent and help with any statementing. The reason our CDC is reluctant is because once the diagnosis is there it will always be on his records which may affect him in later life. He is, what I would say, semantic pragmatic disorder. That is kind of the " social " side of autism but with delayed and curious speech. He is very high functioning and I think he will be o.k at school but just wonder what others think. Thanks in anticipation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
