Getting a Diagnosis
Introduction: Diagnosis before birth / Diagnosis at birth or soon after / Diagnosis in the infant years / Teenage or adult-onset diagnosis / Undiagnosed conditions
Diagnosis can come in a number of ways and at different times, and each will have its own set of issues for you to deal with. This section discusses diagnosis before birth, at birth, in the infant years, and as a teenage or adult. It also looks at the issue of undiagnosed conditions.

You will also find good online information on grief and loss on the website of Skylight, a Trust that provides counselling and information for children and their families. Their links provide information suitable for people of all ages.
