I apologise first, I know little about it but I am trying to help DS, 5, and it has crossed my mind that this could be a possibility.
Is it synonymous with highly sensitive tendencies, and anxiety/ low self esteem? He was assessed for autism by cahms and not thought to be on the spectrum in any meaningful way.
He has always been highly sensitive, both physically and emotionally. Since starting school (just finished yrR) he has been so anxious (at times) that it has really what he does and he's even been sent home a few times 'ill'. He is often so sad/angry/frustrated after school that I don't know how to help him.
When outside running, playing or riding/ dog walking he is happy and relaxed. He is vary capable physically and verbally. He hates and is poor at reading/writing, trying to learn books rather than 'read' them. I know he's only young though. He often writes letters back to front ( like in a mirror) and gets very angry and frustrated.
Sorry, I know little about it, I just want to help him and if anyone can advise that would be great. He sees a MHP for his anxiety but it doesn't really help and I think she's a bit baffled by him( as am I).
