My son is nearly 3 and we are extemley concerned about his behaviour. The main concern is his aggression but he also displays some other concerning behaviour, such as; Not wanting to eat solid food (only wants to drink hot chocolate), his speech has regressed to the point he dosen't even ask for things just points or takes me to the item, he finds interacting with other children very difficult as he dosen't really understand the concept of 'playing', he is obssessed with toy cars and constantly lines them up, he has no spacial awarness at all, dosen't hear me when I talk to him and cannot follow even the simplest of instructions. We have taken him to the doctors and we were told we weren't paying him enough attention and in any case he would not be assesed until he was at least 4!! I am really struggling as his behaviour is so bad and I am at home with him and my 7 month old 5 days a week. I have 2 autistic siblings so I have a goood insight into autism and what behaviours are signs of autism. I just feel like we are alone and being blamed for Daniels behaviour. I was wondering if anybody has managed to get an early diagnosis and how? My brother was diagnosed at 6 but my sister was not diagnosed until she was 18 and now suffers from mental health issues as well, I really do not want this to happen to my son but feel like thre is no help available!! :(
