Autistic spectrum disorders

Hi

Just wondering if theres anyone out there with a child on the Autistic Spectrum.

Just wanted to chat - thats all.

My son is nearly 6 and he is not diagnosed yet. He is seeing and Educational Pshychologist but she is not willing to diagnose him at the moment (i wish they would).

He is seeing Occupational Therapy for his Sensory Issues and we are waiting for an appointments at Speach and Language Therapy.

He does talk its just a bit immature. He goes to mainstream school and this year he has calmed down a bit. But because of his poor attention span he is falling very much behind educationally.

Bye
