Hi, I been fighting for my son since he was 2 he is now 7 and finally got his diagnosis last week. He is struggling with his emotions he is really frustrated and anxious boy who doestnt seems happy unless he is in his own world of pokemon minecraft fortnight and he needs to know everything thats happening by the minute he loves his maths and anything to do with numbers. He doesnt understand others emotions and struggles to understand that not every one likes what he likes and if they dont like or be prepared to be in his world and live his world he just blanks them out. He has soiling problems too he is having 3-5 accidents even when he is asleep he then lies about it and stays in it for hours until he is ready to be change as a mum i want my boy to be happy but it feels like thats impossible. please help me to understand what my boy is going through and how to help him. what will be the best think what i should put in place and how to put smile on his face.

  • Hi, sounds silly, but have to spoken to health professionals about a care plan for him? It really sucks and you have done a great job so far, keep your head up and be strong. start reading about small changes that you can try, whilst waiting for feedback from the various authorities about next steps. It is painfully slow getting started, but keep talking and being positive ( I know it's hard).

  • Its so hard dealing with it all by myself  I have 3 children my oldest daughter she is amazing then is my 7 years old and then i have 4 years old boy who has some difficulty with him just waiting for appointment with pediatrician. I feel so drained keep trying to read about it all trying to work out where to start. Will care plan help? sorry to sound silly but i really dont know where to start
