New to Spectrum

Good Evening everyone,

I have recently been at the GP with my 3 n 1/2 year old son. The GP has said he believe my son to be on the spectrum, leaving me to enter into a new world completely blind.

This has come about because my son physically attacks me and has soo much aggression towards me but at the same time can be soo clingy and loving. It gets very confusing as to why he does this when there is no obvious reason for his actions. Since the GP tol me this I have researched alot and my son is getting alot worse day by day and i am really struggling as a single mum with limited support. I feel my son is changing far too quick and any stratagy i try is just infuriating him more.

I completed a criteria checklist for PDA a my son scored 66 which is extremely high at this point. I am alone in this at the moment as the GP has tried to get CAMHS to see him but they refused despite te fact the GP said my son is the worse he has seen in his entire career for aggression towards me for no apparent reason. 

Anyway I have rambled enough now I just dont know what to feel, how i should be parenting him or literally anything now I just feel so helpless for my little one as he must feel so mixed up in his own young mind.

    Thanks every one, I have got a 'routine' from nursery so i know what they do there exactly on a daily basis. I have just got lots of art things so I can involve my little one in making a similar timetable for us to use at home so he feeling involved in the process of the new change i shall try with him.

    I sometimes prefer just leaving the house with him and going to visit family to take some of the strain off me at home but this doesnt change his ways with me lol. I am soo exhausted with everything having to alway be at his demand he doent even like me doing normal housework when he notices i arent sat in the same room as him lol. Some family just say i give into him but i really dont see it like that as if i tell him im busy at the moment he goes into a fit of aggression and starts trying to damage things. I have been very teary the last couple of days its so painful seeing him like this soo small and not having a clue how to try help him.
