Had yet another appointment today with Ds' specialist .
He has suspected ADHD/AS/OCD .
He is on Melatonin finally after not sleeping for 4 & a half years though I had to beg for it
Anyway back to today , The appointment lasted all of two minutes where I were told that because he is ok/well behaved in nursery he can't possibly have ADHD or even ADD & then I were given another appointment for January
I were really needing answers today but all I got was nothing , if big if their is nothing wrong with my Ds that makes me a horrid parent because he is completely uncontrollable.
The only reason he is good in Nursery is because I had to send him to a Preparatory Nursery as they had a set timetable & a lot more structure which is why he was so ok at Nursery !
I'm at breaking point , he now smashes things , throws stuff at me , hits me , won't do as he is told no matter what I confiscate etc .
I applied for DLA on the advice of some lovely Mnetters & was denied on the grounds of him just been an 'average' 4 year old I asked for a review so just waiting on that coming back though im only about 1% hopeful , If I got it life would be a lot easier as id be able to buy him those lights that calm him down & a weighted blanket etc .
Sorry for the ramble , I just don't know where to go from here
Is their anything I can do to help my claim for DLA ?
