We want referral to CAMHS

DS dx’d ASD emerging speech age 5

This is why I feel he needs to be referred by CAMHS:

I am on edge permanently because I don’t know what he will do next. Eg flooding the bathroom and it “raining” in the kitchen.

He has no sense of danger and is a runner so going to school is a nightmare.

He is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine.

He stims by spinning objects.

Does not know how to share.

Rather solitary, tends to play alone.

Does not understand if someone is hurt, upset or feeling ill.

Does not have at least one friend.

Is nervous or clingy in new situations and easily loses confidence.

Gets on better with adults than with other children.

 

We would like strategies and ways in coping with him on the above subjects.

Conclusion

G has peer problems and poor prosocial behaviour. We are  unsupported in this area of his life. We don’t want a crisis but he does not understand the severity of the situations.

What will happen next if you do think there are issues?

Anything to add or comments of how to get referred to CAMHS gratefully received.
