Hi, Need to find somebody out there who has had a similar experience.
My 3yr old son displayed alarming behaviour just after his 2nd birthday - holding his ear, whining, arm flapping - other than that, he just 'switched off' from us and didn't want touching. HV was told that he had never had a hearing test but still referred down the line of investigating possible autism. Since been confirmed by GP, ENT clinic & community paediatrician as NOT autism but GLUE EAR! GP is managing while we wait for grommits. Behaviour is almost back to normal and he is trying to speak....BUT speach therapist is still not convinced and wants to continue down other routes.
I have tried to insist that she does not take us down that road again but she now has me down as an 'obstructive' mother. What can we do? Has anybody else had similar experience?
