My sons first assesement

boyboysmum

I have had concerns about my son since he was little, these really started playing on my mind when he started nursery, nursery sort of brushed it off even though i could see my son becoming more and more withdrawn for normal nursery rountine,  as i was sort of made to feel silly i left it, then he moved up into reception and it became worse, he just didnt want to participate in group work, pe, assemblies that was after we could even get him into school, academically he is amazing above average on reading and writing but he is such a perfection he becomes distraught and inconsonlable if he makes mistakes

His behaviour at home is so temperamental any small thing can cause him to explode, going out he likes to go certain ways and if we need to divert from the usual route this can cause a meltdown

He doesnt like being in busy shops or walking down the high road where we may encounter loud ambulances/police cars

He gets extremely attached to certain people for example 2 ladies at his school are the only ones he will really do anything for or stay with and again with me and his dad he likes to be near us and know where we are all the time

There is lots more thing going on that are concerning me, when we had the Ados assesement back in november they said he doesnt tick enough boxes for an autism diagnosis and they wanted to work with him for a year with different agencies to see if he improves, well 5 months on and only after me chasing last week he has an appointment next week at our local childrens centre with the phycologist to get the ball rolling, its really concerning me that no one seems in a rush, my son is now at the point he no longer even goes out in the playground for playtime and they have a real struggle with him trying to get him to get 10 minutes fresh air a day

The school i think just think i need to get on with it as there is nothing official wrong with my son as such which is frustrating, his teaching asisstant is absolutely amazing but as she is not dedictated to my son it causes problems for my son when he gets stressed and worked up

Sorry for such a long post first time ive written anything down

Anyone else experienced the hitting your head agasint a wall feeling

thank you for your time

  • Hi ive just signed up to this site after my son undergoing assesments for Autism and they've come back and said there is a highly likely hood that he has.

    My son is 3/ half and about to start reception my son has very very little communication only 7/8 single works and a few two words. He doesnt absorb information and gets very futrated likes to be confined so hides alot sits in his wardrobe and at nursery will be on his own all day with one on one supervision as he has a tendancy to bite other children when he cant make himself understood. we also have the same thing with certain routes he will only walk down certain paths when walking to nursery or visiting my parents. My son can not count or do his abc and can not have a conversation with anyone he has extremely poor eye contact and very perticular with his clothes and how they are on.

    my son hits his head on the floor and slaps himself when his fustrated. I know its a horrible road waiting on assesments as a mum you know your child you need to keep pushing and pushing i had to fight to get any help for my son and to get him his appointments but now his been seen everything is going really smoothly.

    Any sensory items are really good for calming and my son also doesnt like big crowds and busy places with alot of back ground noise so i take headphones out with us now and it seems to help abit. although he sits under tables when out for meals and hides his alot happier than if he didnt have them on.

    And yes always getting that feeling and that feeling of what can i do to make things easier for him.

    Im always feeling so sad its the start of a long journey ahead i just want to get as much structure in place to make things easier for my son.

    Also sorry for the long post :) x
