Hi, my son is nearly 16 and for years I have often thought something was not right. He has seen Dr's and specialist through his younger years but nothing was ever resolved. He was tested for Dyspraxia but said he was border line and nother ever came from that. He is doing in GCSE's now and struggling. I went to see my Dr last week as I have been getting stressed and upset about it. When I described him and some of the things he does and what he is like, straight away she said 'sounds like he is on the Autistic Spectrum' when she said that, even that was a relief and that I was not going mad. But it is what I do not that confuses me. She said she could refer him to CAMHS, but would take ages and also gave me the number of a local service. My issue is that my son does not know any of this, I think he is happy in his own little world. I am not sure if I should leave it till he leaves school and see how he goes, but they if nothing changes I feel like I have wasted the time to do anything about it. I wish I could speak to someone more about him to see what they think I should do. I don't how to speak to him to convince him to come and see someone without hurting his feelings. He is at the age now where I can't just say, we are going to see someone I need his permission.
If anyone has got any advice on this or can point me in the right direction or the right discussion board I would be the most grateful.
Thanks
