HI guys hope u r all well and keeping the help and supprt flowing i think this is a great place to speak out .

i am now asking for help again ,here's the run down

my boy is 12 ,has been diagnosed with dyslexia 2 years ago after a long fight with his school .has attended autism clinic for bout 2 years .came back after a long process that he has lots of traits but doesnt meet all the boxes .they sent him to adhd who say yes and been on tablets and doing well different child although some things havnt gone even with medication .has problems with routine ,obsessed with certain things and when out cant cope with crowds etc

question  i have is he has been sent for again to autism clinic  , i deep down feel he has  autism and they didnt see all he does especially at home before saying no .how do i exlpain that to them in 2 weeks ,i am doing a diary like someone suggested but what else can i say to them to get my point over .also if told no again how do u cope with all the meltdowns although ur told nothings wrong .its so confusing

  • Hi, my daughter is 16, she was assessed last year for Autism and they said no she didn't tick every box so she isn't autistic.  She has Auditory processing disorder though.  As she is getting older though she seems to meet all the traits....

    No friends due to social isolation....her world is her computer and bedroom

    Can't carry on conversation...yes or no answers

    Phobias on everything

    Temper tantrums

    Hates people whistling humming singing

    No thought of people's feelings 

    Lack hygiene /doesn't follow fashion wears same clothes

    Repetitive dvd watching same dvd over and over

    Aggressive moods /argumentative about nothing

    Dissects food into miniscule pieces

    Moves away abruptly from people when shopping 

    Rocks when on computer

    Picks skin till bleeding/ scabs all over her

    Bed wetting till 14/15

    These are just a taste of her behavior.....anyone think she definitely needs another assessment.......?  Please as I am extremely worried and desperate for help Smile
