From: Sarah Vaughan on 5 Aug 2008 18:19 We have finally completed the diagnostic process (two appointments with paediatrician, assessment by speech therapist, assessment form to be filled in by nursery), and it confirms what we've been increasingly certain of for a long time; Jamie has mild autistic spectrum disorder. Now I feel like we're really part of the cool gang. Do we get a decoder ring? ;-) All the best, Sarah -- http://www.goodenoughmummy.typepad.com "That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be" - P. C. Hodgell

No psychiatrist or psychologist involved in the diagnostic process?

If you want it, you can have it. Eva

No - it's diagnosed by a community paediatrician (a paediatrician who specialises in developmental disorders/problems).
