Newly diagnosed 10 year old son. Help

Hi all,

I have a 10 year old son, who has just been diagnosed as having Aspergers, Friday 8th March. A year ago he was diagnosed as having sensory processing disorders. It has taken a long time for this diagnosis, we were first told he has social anxiety about 4 years ago.

I always knew it was more and kept notes of his behaviours. We got diagnosed as a result of me pushing for a speech and language therapist, first he had to have a hearing test which we found out he has hyper acuisis, after a thorough talk with peaditirician, she sent us to Occupational therapist who then diagnosed the SPD. we then went back to doctors who with him, the OT report and the school referred us to CAMHS. Over a year later we finally have a diagnosis.

My son has lots of worries and anxieties daily, has regular meltdowns at home (not school), struggles with friends are amongst some.  The worries are so bad i have the same questions daily, he especially worries when not with me, where i am,what im doing, will i be on time, will i forget to pick him up etc.

If anyone has any support or ideas to help with the worries, it would be a great help. We do not know where we should go next or what we should do.

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi crystal12

    I dont know much about statements, but i thought the child has to have difficulties learning/ behaviour at school. He was being picked on, but everything is ok at the moment. The school is good as it has a autistic resource base attached, however i think they may concentrate on the more severe children with learning/ behaviour dfficulties. My sons main concerns are anxieties and worries at school and out of school. Who do i speak to about statements.
