Ok, this might make sense to some of you! Dd3 has a dx of Asd which is absolutely fine and she definitely fits the profile. I knew from a very early age that she had Asd.
However it has begun to dawn on me that she might actually be better supported if she had many different dx's. One or two teachers have made comments recently about her slow processing speed, her inability to do symetry, her poor concentration, dodgy co ordination, lack of confidence.
I find myself saying over and over that all these things are part of the Asd but people just dont seem to get it.
I am worried because she is in a great primary with a passport and fantastic senco, so I am thinking if she is having all these problems there what on earth is going to happen at secondary when she is moving between staff all the time and the staff really wont know her at all.
So should I be stamping my feet louder and getting her more specific dx's or should it be the staffs responsibility to find out what it actually means to have a dx of Asd?

Been thinking a lot about Asd as an umbrella diagnosis.
