I'm new

Dippy lady

Hello. I have 2 children a girl and a boy 4 & 5. The school suspect that my 4 yr old boy has autism, I always thought he could be a little odd but always said he was my weird and wonderful boy. Grandparents think we shouldn't push to get him 'labelled' he can just be abit badly behaved. This drives me crazy as he's not a naughty kid.. When ever he does play up you can see its because he's anxious and stressed. He starts full time school September and I'm very anxious about this, in fact when I think about it I feel sick. We have started the ball rolling on getting him diagnosed but that was 2 months ago and we're no closer to any answers. I'm such a impatient person. I want to get a answer and move forwards, find out how to improve my boys life. It's been a strange couple of months really... I'm a very happy go lucky kind of person but now I feel anxious all the time. It's not changed the way I feel about my boy... I love EVERYTHING about him.

  • I've been told that a label isn't a good thing but after waiting 13 yrs, I'm really grateful for a label now!  Also, saying he's naughty is a label too!  Until my daughter got her diagnosis, people thought she was naughty, badly behaved, selfish etc but I've found she's easier to manage now I know she has ASD as any difficult behaviour is generally down to something she's anxious about and although I can't take away everything that stresses her, I can deal with it better that just putting it down to bad behaviour.
