Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 SALT, Ed Psych, Paediatric Psychiatrist and OT. No-one's ever teased out the comparative effect of the learning difficulties and the autism - the Psychiatrist said he'd benefit from a very structured intensive programme in any event. margaret Re: Henry update Margaret what reports are you having done? Are they saying he is more LD than Autism? 's dx from Nottingham Early Yrs said his LD's were severe and over and above his autism, yet he is definitely progressing, I haven't given up the hope that with less autism I will also see better cognitive thinking and lifting of the fogginess.
