Hi all . I feel like i havent stopped posting in here recently apologies
Just a quick run down at the begining of last year the nursery flagged up some concerns to me that my daughter does not socialise with peers nor does she like routine change. while i agreed her socialising was not great i never had the routine issue with her. at that period she also seem to display some sensory issues with things like hoover /washing machine but these were minor in the fact she would insist i shut the kitchen door there was no meltdowns. she also went through a phase of HATING window wipers in the car after she nearly went through the roof when i accidently put them on a dry window with a rusty wiper (you know that awful noise like nails on a chalkboard) it took a few months of me not being allowed to use wipers thank god it was summer. Iv noticed as her language has developed he sensory issues are all but gone the only one remaining is the public toilet scenario she calmly covers her ears in preporation when we are out. she said she needs the toilet then immediately covers her ears no crying or upset though. the min she is out she takes her hands away . this stemmed from a hand dryer incident after that she just wrote public toilets off as torture chambers lol.
so she was reffered through her gp to the child development clinic. first appointment doctor said she did not seem autistic to her but we would see her back anyway. she had a griffith assesment age 4 and a half where she was rather delayed in alot. however I knew she had the capabilities and only about 6 weeks after she was doing the tasks herself. we were told we would be seen again in 6 months
fast forward to now 9 months later and I have recieved a letter from her doctor to see my daughter again in march (was supposed to be december) the letter states that she has her reports from salt and she seems to be making good progress although still has significent difficulty with language understanding. she has my gars 2 and the nurseries gars 2 and mine came back low risk for asd and the nurseries said high risk for asd. this is it word for word "this means things are not straightforward. the descriptions of her (name) warm interactions and smiles along with the scores may point more toward her understanding as being the main cause for her difficulties, rather than Autism. It is important to keep an open mind though"
the rest of the letter goes onto say the main thing is she is supported this letter shows she does not have her ed physc report or aware that she now has an IEP in place.
plan
i have to do another gars2 so there is an up to date one for when we have our next appointment and a more in depth questionaire on her first years of life.
I really don't know what to make of this It still is not stating if she is going to have the ADOS. I know for a fact the nursery have seen a huge turnaround in her and have openly said to me shes coped very well with all the different routine changes over the festive period taking part in the nativity. the xmas party the signalong she loved santa she loved the visiting clown etc . she will sit for circle time now shes listening and talking more and in context but it doesnt say the n ursery will be asked to do another gars2 even though the 1 from them in well out of date
so sorry this is so long but I have spent the last 12 months fretting and analysing my poor daughter which has done neither of us any good at all. and I feel like im still no closer to anything
has anyone else had this . is there a chance she wont get the ados?
her very first speech therapy app she told me theres a crossoever in autisic behaviour and language delayed behaviour
she really is like a different girl this past year she has just turned 5 last month
sorry if this is all out of order just wanted opinions
also my gars2 is different to my first because she pretty much has scored 0 For everything bar the language and her use of pronouns etc. also the section that states first 3 years of life her imaginative play was later to develop she was just turning 3 when she started and even then it was not consistent. she is full of imaginative play all the time now though
