Skye, We are in the 'assessment stages' too, but there isn't a person I have spoken to who isn't utterly convinced that Princess is spectrum.

Something stuck out for me there. Princess is loud. All the time. They did hearing tests but her hearing is fine (and she can hear me whisper the word chocolate 3 rooms away!) but she talks so damned loud. One of the staff at the last school joked that Princess has two volumes - Loud and F***in Loud (yeah, charming, I know). There are a lot of things you have mentioned that remind me of princess.

Ignore the teachers and get a referral for a paed.



Freya: Good job on finding some assessments you can afford. Absolutely horrible that it costs so much to get help for children. We were very lucky that the school referred us to a paed that bulk billed and dealt in ASD.

but yeah, everything else has sky high costs and its just so hard to think there will ever be a time where people care that she gets help.
