Hello to all,
I popped in a while ago to say my son was doing testing to see what was up, and now we have the diagnosis of aspergers and dyslexia. This is only 3 weeks old so still sinking in. We are following up on ST, OT, social skills groups and anxiety/anger management. Been to a behavioral optom and god knows what else, I just know it has been a bit of bill after bill.
So about my son he is nearly 10 and we have known for a while and approached class teachers for them to say he is just behind, went a pead yrs ago and he did bring it up but soon after I got very sick. I have always put this on me as his first years at school I was in and out of hospital and felt that he did not have a stable base to start with but more we read into things we both thought somethings not right. As for his symptoms he walks on his tip toes all the time, hates eye contact, very organised in his workspaces, has temper moments, is funny with food, has a lot of trouble in social skills, school work is way behind even though he gives it 120%, hates sports to the point of melting down at school. But he is loveable to me and very caring of toddlers he plays with his cousins and watches out for them but can not handle kids his own age.
I have worked out a basic routine for him that is followable when I am in hospital and just made things more structured at home.
Thats about all really, I have 2 other children dd12 and ds8
thanks being listening and look out as i may attack you all with questions soon.
