I've just had a call from Autism Victoria, about my application for funding DS.

From all I know and all I've been told it that he needed a dx BEFORE he was 6 to be eligible for help for Occupational Therapy, Psychologists, Seminars and Family Support.

He got the dx before his 6th birthday, the Paed even saw him in her lunch hour instead of us having to wait the usual 3 weeks after the assessments were finished so she could sign everything that was needed.

But I didn't get the paperwork in before his 6th birthday, it got sent 2 weeks later. So now, even though it isn't mentioned anywhere on the website or the forms it apparently isn't about the dx being given - it's the FRICKEN PAPERWORK that needs to be in.

So maybe he isn't actually on the spectrum and we don't need any help after all since the PAPERWORK wasn't in on time.

I feel sick
