feeling lost

Emms

Hello im new to all this and feeling a bit lost with everything, I have an 11 yr old son he is a lovely amazing special young man (most of the time) I have always had problems with him at home behavour, trouble with his older sister (the only sister he has trouble with he actually has 2 brothers and 4 sisters) but after moving house and i guess upsetting his routine trouble at school not being able to settle bad behavour at school ending in him having to be removed so far he has been asked to be removed from 2 schools and is looking to be taken out of the 1 he is in now due to behavour he is not a bad child and all the teachers agree with me im trying very hard to get him assesed no 1 really wants to help i had 1 professional tell me he couldnt have aspergers as he makes eye contact with me and got extremely upset when his temper problems were talked about. Reading the information on here its like reading a book on my son. It is tearing my family apart at the moment because we just dont no where to go what help we can get for him we seem to walk around on egg shells around him. I could go on and on about what his behavour is like but to be honest i dont no where to start all i do know is im at the end of my tether he is getting bigger stronger and its scary when he goes off. Any advice would be wonderful.

Thank you

    We had a similar thing with my Daughter, I had always thought that maybe she was just more of a handful than other children and I blamed myself for the fact I couldn't control her. I went to the GP when she started school at 4. She is a poo smearer and I think the anxiety of starting school was too much for her so she started she  to do it at school. I went with what I believed at the time to be a totally random list of behaviours that were of concern to me and he said that they were all traits of Aspergers. We were referred to the speech and language clininc where she had the ADOS test and they said that although she did have traits she didn't score high enough for a diagnosis. No one believed me. My husband just said she was challenging and that I wasn't dealing with her correctly, school said absolutely no way, she didn't show any signs at school at all and now the hospital had said no. I had read so much that I knew it was Aspergers. To cut a long story short I refused to give up because I KNEW I was right. Last monday she was finally diagnosed with Aspergers, and not borderline, but clearly has Aspergers. She will be 7 next month, it has been a long tough 3 years, but we got there in the end. If you think your son has an ASD then you are probably right! xx
