Hi all,


Im a mum of 2.  My youngest is a 7 yr old boy who is currently going through assesments.


I have been fighting for these assessment s for years and feel like im still getting no where.  Any advice would be helpful.



A little about my son... he is extremely bright and does great at school. But at home is completely opposite. .. 


He's had obsessions all his life from keys, to trains now its electronic items ... his behaviour is horrid and I cant control him.


He tells lies constantly and not lies to get him out of trouble but to get into more trouble. 


He wees himself most days but is dry at night and knows when he needs the toilet.. seems to be when he gets told off or is laughing. 



He tells stories to people to get me into trouble and this has put strain on the family ... stories of me beating him which are not true.


He also says he wants to die .. 



Im at my wit's end ... and need help.



I work with young adults with learning disabilities.. so its not new to me but trying to get him diagnosed is hard. . They just saying its naughty behaviour but I know its more.



Please advise

  • My 12yo wets herself when she is laughing too and she is on the spectrum (although awaiting diagnosis).  She has also said she wants to die.  It sounds as though even if he is behaving OK at school it is stressful for him and he brings that home as bad behaviour - which is common on the spectrum.  I would start video-ing his behaviour as proof for his assessment.  If school don't believe you, stuff them, it's whether the professionals do and diagnose him and then the school will have to listen.
