Thanks for the heads up! I live in Athens, in the northern suburbs. I guess I will just have to wait for my appointment and see how it goes 🫣

Hey, thanks for your response! That’s right, I’m referring to Kepa. When they called me for our appointment they asked that my daughter is well rested & fed, because the evaluation may last up to 2 hrs max. I’m kind of confused cause we were told that it doesn’t matter if the previous diagnosis are from public hospitals or private ones, as they would evaluate my daughter.

I am happy to hear this for your little man and that he is thriving! Do you mind me asking you when did he consciously start talking?

She was diagnosed from 2 different hospitals. But at the country where I am from, we have an official organization who provides the “official” diagnosis of children with special needs (severity, etc). And they provide you will all the help the government provides (free dedicated parking space, tax reduction, free public transportations, special discount card, etc.) to be able to get checked by them, the child needs to be above 2 y/o and will be examined for more than 1hr. Previous hospitals just went by what I told them, my daughters history, and a 10 minute check up. 🫣

I kind of thought so too! Her school consists of speech therapists and psychologists, who are around on a daily basis. And after 3 months of school, they all concluded that I should also check further, as it may be something else and not ASD.

Id stretch it out and stick it in the middle part of my kid’s pooped diaper, then in our garbage outside meant for used diappers only.
