new and lost

hello

im jen - i have a 13 year old son who under going consultation for asc finding the whole thing daunting.

he has a history of wanting to harm himself,violent agressive outbursts,conforms at school extrememly academic but looses it at home - there only me and also my daughter 9 who his sibling.

family dont want to know - don't agree with the process nor want to accept this could be a huge possibility.in their eyes he short of a good hiding and some severe discipline. I split from their dad nearly 3 years ago and a lot of things have come to light since,more so since nov 2013 as my son tried to take his own life with a blind cord a week before my ex took me to court regarding contact with the children,my sons excuse was he didnt want to see his dad and thought this was the answer,but obviously not - emergency crisis team at a&e got involved and from then everythin has spiralled.....

appointments with camhs, speech and language and so many more...

  • oh my word sending you big hugs. I agree with Clearwater. Hang in there and definitely trust your gut instincts especially re discipline. We had a lot of same advice when we were unsure of what was happening and thought things were bad behaviour but ASD has brought a huge difference and understanding.

    I hope the services offer some practical help and is there anyone you can just sound off to that will give you a cuppa and a hug and just be there for moral support. I have read some wonderful advice on here so support will come from people who truly understand. 

    Take care.
