Where do you begin if you suspect your child has AS?

[Guest guest]

Do you call your doctor and ask for a referral? I am clueless. I

would like to know for sure but is that really possible. The info I am

learning is helping me to focus on areas to help my son.

Thanks,

hi hun i am shell mum of 6 one with severe autism one with aspergers one with

traits one with lbd

i also have aspergers .My first advice would be to kep a dairy from now to whe

you visit your

doctor ,make a list of all his behaviours and routines

The only way they will dx aspergers is if he has the TRIAD OF IMPAIRMENTS with

the exception of

having speech children with aspergers genrally dont have problems with speech

where has autiistic

children do.

we started with our G.P

tell them your concerns and ask to sit a multy discaplinary assessment (uk)if

The A.D.O.S test is usually done for asperegrs

it is 99% accurate im not sure where in the world you are so it will be

differant if you are not

in the uk .

if you need any knowledge on the differant tests they can do please ask

or visit my group link below

love shell

kind regards shell

What we did was first start with the pediatrician and he can refer you

to a psychiatrist/psychologist.

Good Luck

Our state has a birth to 3 program for at risk kids and DS's pediatrician arranged the initial assessment that way.

Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect. Join 's user panel and lay it on us.

Also, if you haven't yet, check your state's Autism Society website.

Ours has some regional/local contact lists, so someone in your area

may be able to direct you to some place knowledgeable about autism,

diagnosing, etc.

whoops---thought it said "when" as for where? start with your local autism groups and then research as much as you can...and please, do not EVER forget that YOU know YOUR child BETTER than ANYONE else...this includes every expert out there...next, ask parents like you---best source of info....

Yes, you can get a referral from your pediatrician.
