Thank you so much for your reply and for telling me about your son - I really hope that you are getting a lot more help for him now and that you are having less "cracking up" episodes (I know just how you feel).
What worries me is that we've just been given this vague diagnosis and left to get on with it and I've read so many times on this site about people who are now adults who went on to develop other problems due to thier condition not being recognised in earlier years. We've been told that he will be assessed again when he starts senior school (4-5 years away). So in the meantime we're just trying to manage, reading as much as we can and (hardest of all) trying to stay calm with him. It's so frustrating when I know people are thinking he's just really badly behaved and we've never taught him right from wrong.
Anyway thanks again and good luck to you and your son. Cheers
