Hello
I find myself sitting alone in the dead of the night.....worrying about my 10 year old boy. This is not an unusual occurence, but has certainly escalated over the past three weeks or so.
My boy was diagnosed with Aspergers, dyslexia, dyspraxia and Irlen syndrome a year ago, after a lengthy battle with his school for acknowledgement of his differences. His latest issue is a motor tic, which causes him to punch people (he is not aggressive, but is compelled to do this)......a child who as attended Kung Fu since he was 4, because his parents wanted him to be able to 'look after himself', hits hard!
Unfortunately he is now unable to attend school whilst we await an EEG and a CAHMS appointment. He starts secondary school next September and I am looking into one with a specialist theraputic unit, as he is mainstream at present and I see the need for more specialist intervention.
The bottom line is that my boy is a wonderful, kind, caring, quirky human being 
with some differences that are becoming more and more apparent. He is becoming more isolated: Seeing the chain of events is truly breaking my heart as he has already been through so much, including the death of a sibling.
Will be nice to support and be supported by people who understand...................
