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.
I totally understand what your saying an agree. I have in the past done this and I am trying to get new boundaries that i am comfortable with and i know i will stick with. My problem is that my son has bronichial asthma and lile this mornong he is getting worse with it so he has needed carrying down the stairs. This seems such a small thing but its actually such a contradiction to when he is physically well. I try to get him to walk up and down the stairs alone. Now My gp has the belief of him been on the spectrum i am at a loss of what i should be doing because he physically cant do things for himself wen his chest is bad.. but he can when hes well. Oh its just such a rollacoster trying to do whats best without giving him mixed signals.
