Worried about son’s possible diagnosis

Hi. I have a 7 year son. I’ve always thought there was something different about him but didn’t think it was an issue. Since nursery he’s had tics which usually last a few weeks then fade away. Recently he’s been throat clearing a lot.

The other day at school parents evening the teacher said she thinks theres something sensory going on with him but doesn’t know what so I should take him to the dr.

I’m worried he is on the autistic spectrum and what this means for his future. He has friends and makes eye contract so it’s maybe not that but I’m still worried. At school he struggles to concentrate and his writing and drawing is poor.

Just looking for some reassurance really and and advice on what the future might hold if it is that.
