I'm new to all of this, any help would be great.

evrensmummy

Hi my son is almost 4 years old and has recently been diagnosed with having Aspergers Syndrome.

I am reading up a great deal re Autism but feel so let down and alone by the health profession and his peadiatrician.

Since my son has been diagnosed I have not recieved any information from the peadiatrician in regards to further assistance, what help to expect and what happens next. I feel like he has been diagnosed and we've kind of been left alone to deal with it.

I've been told I can have my home assessed (as my son has no sense of danger) by social services and that I could be entitled to respite. My son is also frequently refusing to walk when we go out, he'll walk a few steps then cry until he's picked up even chucking himself to the floor. Can i get any help with his physical needs?

 

And also how long does it take for DLA to be rewarded as I am desperate for a blue badge due to his lack of mobility which is having a strain on my back due to having scoliosis (a bent spine).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I feel so alone and depressed at times.

 

Many thanks

  • Thanks again Crystal. I find its not so much of a routine problem as he's ok wherever we go I just tell him in advance. Its more of whatever he wants to do he will do it and if not he will kick up a fuss until he does get his own way.

     

    I've tried going for little walks with him and his siblings but it doesn't matter where we go he acts the same and is becoming so clingy. Its got to the point even in the kitchen whilst doing houswork or cooking he's at my feet wanting to be picked up and I know I really need to just be firm which I try.

     

    But I totally agree with u, i really need to contact his peadiatricians office and get some form of advice and will do so 1st thing in the morning.

     

    Thank u for being so kind and supportive. x
