My 5 yr old DS has recently undergone assessments initially for possible ADHD (which has now been ruled out) but we've been advised he's very complex and it will take awhile for them to decide upon a diagnosis. We were told they thought he had DCD/Dyspraxia and a local organisation has confirmed this and offers him a place to start in their dyspraxia group once a week for term time. So that's the back story, our main problem is his anger and impulse control. He can have a melt down over He will hit himself, call himself an idiot , ask us to hit him etc and we've tried ignoring him, tried talking but he refuses to talk about emotions with us. I've been trying to contact CAMHS very simple things and his anger is getting worse. He threatens to hit (sometimes actually does) he threatens to kill himself and or us and tells us how he would do it
