Hi Everyone. I am new to the community and i hope that any help and suppport i receive now i can give back in year to come.
After years of telling everyone something wasnt "quite right" with my son and seeking but failing to get support he has now had an initial diagnosis as being somewhere on the autism spectrum. We have a 7 month wait for the full diagnosis. We even moved schools and now have a school that is supportive.
His main behaviour issues are inappropriate behaviour and language, lack of emotion or empathy, anxiety, anger, lack of compassion for those that love him, mood swings, poor decision making, occasional self loathing, failure to take or accepy instruction and recently a deep but unfathomable hate for anyone and everyone and any given time and constant threats of killing himself. He also says he doesnt need or love my wife or myself.
He comes from a loving and stable family and has a support network at school. To our knowledge he has everything going for him in his life although despite being highly intelligent his recent behaviour has meant his school work has suffered badly.
I believe we ae now on the road to helping him get the support he needs t have a good life but my fear is that something really bad will happen before we can help him.
As i am sure you will all know we now have little or no quality family life, although we do have good moments and i guess i am looking for some comfort that things can and will get better.
Any help, advice or reassurance anyone can give woud be appreciated.
Many thanks
