Hello, looking for advice and guidance.

Hi I'm Mitch, new to the forum, we have two boys, 13 and 10, we are waiting at the moment for our 10 year old to be assessed for possible ASD/OCD.  He was diagnosed with Dyspraxia when he was 4 with having severe speech and language disorder.  We are having difficulties with his behaviour, he has compulsive behaviour which affects the rest of the family.  He often gets annoyed and no matter what we say to him he just does not listen but he calms down very quickly and soon forgets what the issue was, while the rest of the family are still hot and bothered !

We are finding it very difficult and thus putting an enormous strain on the family and our marriage. Does this sound familar or are we going mad ?

  • Hi Mitch 

    What you describe sounds very familiar 

    I have two boys 19yrs and 16yrs my16yr old was diagnosed ASD when he was 11.

    We live on the edge of the volcano every day unsure of when it will next erupt. He too gets over it very quickly. I find it difficult at times as the things that upset him can be trivial to me but obviously are very important to him, also some times it seems that things build to a point where he just blows.

    I am unsure of any advice / support I can give just wanted you to know you are not alone x
