my son is a late diagnosis, very long story and alot of school faliure, but after 2 years of appointment at camhs we went for another meeting hoping this would be the day they could confirm the diagnosis of what we thought would be asd, the nuse then told the dr that she thought he could also have dyspraxia,which i dont know much about this at all.....they said they cant diagnose them both tgether and said hes one or the other so then sent him for a blood test and said they would write to us in 3 weeks with a diagnosis now the dr and lady he saw he had never met the dr and the woman only for about an hour in total 2 appointments after the first nurse who he had for 2 yrs left to a new job........
a little about my son......
he doesnt mix with his peers like to be on his own
only has 1 friend
if he is not at school ds will sit on his own
he doesnt go out to play
doesnt like change
cant stand busy places get frustrated quickly when he doesnt understand things
if routine is changed he goes crazy
he hates school trips and never wants to go as he has not been to the place
he is not academic at all but loves making/buliding things any info would be great as i am very confused atm and dont know what to do next thanks
