I have two boys. One who is 13. Diagnosed ASD and anxiety but on anti depressants and coping ok with life generally.
Then there is my 8 year old who for a long time I buried my head in the sand over. I told myself he was just anxious because of seeing his brothers behaviours. But after a CAMHS call last week I’ve accepted he is on the spectrum. However reading about behaviours I see more oppositional defiant disorder in him. But he is ok at school so I don’t know?!
He is definitely anxious. He is most likely ASD and is possibly ODD. So where do we start in trying to make the home a happier place?
