Hi I'm new here so hope I'm posting right
my son is 5 and has been having counselling for 2 years. His specialist has told me that he is on the spectrum but that she will not officially diagnose him as he is doing well academically. ( he's in reception but working at a level higher than year 1)
I haven't been given any support he has meltdowns at home though at school he seems to have shut downs when he will completely close him self down and block out the world.
when he has a meltdown he hits me strangles me punches and growls and often takes it out on his siblings
he is hypersensitive and doesn't like loud noises. I am waiting for is ear defenders to arrive as he doesnt like unexpected loud noises. When we are out he refuses to go into the toilets as he doesn't like the sound of the hand dryers.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do I feel like I'm constantly fighting for him to receive some kind of support and help. I'm not sure what to do next I feel alone do I fight for a diagnosis or is there any support I can get without one
any advice support or links would be brilliant thank you in advance
