Re: 3yrs old Autism - help/advice

Hello, I’m hoping some of the experienced parents on this thread can help. I’m feeling a little overwhelmed and worried and would love to join a forum with other parents of kids with ASD.

Re: 3yrs old Autism - help/advice

We were told we definitely needed a diagnosis to get an EHCP at school. And we didn’t feel that getting a private diagnosis was skipping the queue, it was just helping us come to grips with our child’s needs a year sooner and make appropriate interventions as soon as we could.

Re: 3yrs old Autism - help/advice

@Bunnypigeon - I was recommended Eleni Paliokosta on this site and couldn’t recommend her more highly. We have a slightly older child diagnosed with ASD.

Re: Developmental Paediatric Assessment/Multi-disciplinary assessment

Hi, having been through the various consultations and assessment with Dr Paliokosta at the Effra Clinic, I thought I should leave a recommendation for anyone else trying to navigate this themselves (for what may be, as it has been for us, a confusing and bewildering time). I can not recommend Dr Pal...

Re: Developmental Paediatric Assessment/Multi-disciplinary assessment

Hi, I’m revisiting this thread again as Dr Keen has been impossible to get hold of. Thank you so much catboo1 for the recommendation, I will contact Dr Paliokosta now! Was it a formal multi disciplinary assessment that you arranged in the end? Thank you again.

Developmental Paediatric Assessment/Multi-disciplinary assessment

Our school has referred our child for a developmental paediatric assessment and multi-disciplinary assessment in order to find out if our child is on the autistic spectrum. However there is a waiting list of 1 year. This seems a long time to wait and we're considering going private. Has anyone been ...
