Last year my *then* 5 year old, was seen by a team from the local childrens mental health service who did an aspergers assessment on him. Their feedback was that he had anxiety caused by my postnatal depression and the solution was for me not to be depressed, excusing the fact I've been on medication for 4 years and during that time havent suffered with depression I was not happy to say the least.
Things have carried on in the same way they were. All the same signs are there. The family history on his fathers side. The obsessions, the memory, the need for routine, the meltdowns over everything, unable to make decisions and many other things.
He will no longer leave the house on weekends without having a 2 hour meltdown first. I've realised we need help. I've got an appointment with the GP but thats 31 days away. I keep trying to grab the school SENCO but who can I ask her to refer us too?
Help. PLEASE!
