We have finally had an appointment for Logan at the hospital regarding his Autism assessment. He was reffered by our GP in March and originally given an appointment for May, this was cancelled as for some reason they gave us an appointment for the epilepsy Dr, we got another appointment for July which was cancelled with 24 hours notice again an appointment for the wrong Dr. We were then given an appointment for November which I really was not happy about given the previous delays so I put a complaint in. A few days later another cancellation letter came in the post with a new date for December. I was fuming by this so I chased up the complaint and got my health visitor in on the action. Thank fully the secretary at the hospital rang and gave us an appointment for a few days later.
Now the fun part, the appointment.... it was a nightmare. Logan does not do well in new places or with waiting times so having to wait 20 mins past his appointment time, teamed with it being a new place and lots of children playing on their DS games at the side of him he went into a COMPLETE meltdown, screaming crying, running away you name it he did it! I decided to take it as a positive though if ever there was a time for him to show the Dr what he is like this was it!
We now are going to have to wait another 2 months for an appointment as the pediatrician has to get a reply from his nursery before the next appointment and obviously they are off for the summer.
I finally feel like we are on the road to getting answers for him now, even though I know its a very long road ahead
