son waiting on assessment for ASD

Hi all i am new to this site, looking for some info and help,

i am a mum to a 6 yr old son who has bin a challeng since the age of 18 months, he would take his nappies off when he went for naps and play with is poo and put it all over the cot and walls, then at the age of 2 when he went into his big boy bed he would wake up durring the night and line up all his toys in the dark, he also started humping his pillow and big soft toys and started to take is clothes off witch to this day he still does, and at this point is walking around the house while i am writting the post. naked, he was fast  at crawling and walking, he didnt started talking till he was about 3 and half he got SLTwhile he was in nursey, i was for ever getting pulled up from nursey teachers say harley is not listening hes hit other kids he runs about and doesnt do what he is told, he can not follow rules, he woulnt share. everyday was somthing diff, then he started school and he has got worse since hes got older his class mates are scared of him he doesnt get invites to partys, he goes about the play ground playing on his own in his own wee world, hes right into transformers i mean right into it he can tell u everything about them. u to  ask how was school today and hes like i did nothing or its i played, he cant seem to keep his hands to him self, so in jan of this year i took harley to the doc and said i think my son has ADHD, so got referred to CAMHS in edinburgh so far this year they have only seen him twice so i called up lasted week to see what was going on, and had i app for today in this is what they said, they dont think harley has adhd and that he show signs of being on ASD range but it hard to say because he talks alot, i am alright starting to feel low and lone.  no one i know seems to understand harley and how i am feeling.

  • thanks sam it means alot know know that i am not alone and that i can talk to people going thu or have bin thu the same thing.

    i have a app with CAMHS again in jan and thats to give a full in detail history of harley from birth to present. then she said sumthing about ADOS assessment but never caught everything she was saying as harley was going on about transformers and i had my 1 yr old with us and she was getting into everything lol. i have not heard of SENCO before but he did have the education board in to assess harley in school to see what they could put in place to help the teachers with his behaviour they where called VTSS.

    can i ask any other mums or dads what there kids are like,

    as harley only gets about 6 hours sleep

    he does not eat much but always on the go

    and spends hours on computers, ps3, dsi,wii,pc it claims him,

    he lines his cars in a row

    cant stand his younger sister.

    he does spin around if he finds P.E or then hes at karate boring,
