My husband and I are both ADHD and autistic, both of our families have a history of these conditions. Our eldest son shows ADHD traits and also autistic traits. He didn't really make friends at nursery and is struggling with this now at school too.
He rarely stops talking (inherited from me:( ) and often says things which are wrong or asks obvious questions he already knows the answer to for the purpose of talking and interacting. This obviously doesn't help. He also comes to us in preference to playing with others.
When I have mentioned his issues to the Health visitor I get nowhere and the GP just tells me that the school will figure out whether there's an issue. Even when he's running around their practise room trying to get into everything no matter what I try.
I know young kids can sometimes take a while to catch up socially but we have a considerable family history. Is it worth trying to pursue anything regarding help/diagnosis given that he is so young?
