Hi I took David to see my health visitor just before he was 2, at first she was a bit offhand because apparently the night before there had been a programme about autism and she said I knew this was going to happen. After being in her room a while she noticed he had no interest in the toys which she said was a bit unusual. She referred him to a specialist paediatrician in Ealing who I saw 2 months later, she virtually said there and then David was autistic after a few weeks of seeing different specialists he was officially diagnosed. It was all pretty quick really. I have got to say I know a lot of people have trouble but I have had no complaints (so far!!) about the help and advice I have received for David. xx
