Sounds like my eldest!! He's now been diagnosed with adhd and asd Maybe put in for a referral?
@Emillie-May what’s asd? And how do we do the referral? His dad is thinking of doing it himself as his mum has been on the waiting list for a long time and nothing is being done and they don’t know how to deal with him. Does it get easier? What help is available?
Asd is auistm You can go to your gp and explain about it and they will put a referral in! My sons nearly 12 now And on medication for it! I went private in the end I needed answers and for school etc too!! Yes my son went through this at school I wouldn't say gets easier you just learn to deal with it and cope with strategies put in place! But with the meds he's definitely a lot calmer
How is he at school? Would they be able to provide supporting evidence? Apart from the tantrums and not listening is there any other concerns like sensory issues? Unfortunately in our area it’s a two year wait for an assessment unless you go privately. In terms of help there isn’t much. There is the Earlybird course run by the nas and the triple p course.
I’m hoping someone has some advice for me 😭
