Hi all. After years of wondering about my now 8 yr old son, lots of anxiety about him (for multiple and not always rational reasons), reading books, enquiring about referrals, having low-level assessments by the school and being told by everyone that he may be a bit 'borderline' but there is nothing to worry about (inc friends with children with HFA), it is finally time to deal with this properly.
I am going to the (fantastic) doc tomorrow armed with my lists and notes from the brilliant chat I had with his teacher at today's parents' evening, and I'm going to present my case, and I will get a referral.
I may wait months for a diagnosis, but I will then know one way or another.
I could give you all a long list with symptoms, or whatever I should call it, quirks? Personality attributes? Anyway, not necessary just here. He is definitely not a very serious case but it is causing some problems at school and it won't get easier as he gets into adolescence.
I am so calm about this, it is a bit weird. I'm just totally certain it is time to sort this out.
Suffice to say, he isn't 'growing out of it'. Thanks for being there, all you kind people.
