Recently got asd diagnosis for ds2 who's 6 next month - little suprised but I'm not great judgement of normal as other ds has adhd. Any way. Ds2 is ok at home, a little volatile but easily soothed - bit like toddler emotions. At school is turning into a disaster. He constantly hits out, throws things, spits, swears and generally meltdown. None of our friends believe it as he's generally a placid calm boy when he's with me or his dad.
I always thought asd masked the other way tbh. I'm asking for add testing when he turns 6. The asd diagnosis took 1 year to reach with two afternoon school observation visits, 3 one hour assessments with asd team and 12 wks of group sessions.
