Hi. I wonder if anyone can help me. My son is 12 and in y7. He was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD in the summer and since then we have pretty much been left to fend for ourselves. He suffers from crippling anxiety, struggles to sleep and has very limited food choices. He is painfully thin but sees himself as fat. This morning we had a full blown panic attack over having a bath. His school are now being helpful but his SENCO has taken a dislike to me as i have questioned her approach and his pastoral manager is very nice but feels until he can get structured medical help they are just treading water. We have now been turned down twice for cahms as we do not meet their criteria, our gp is no help and my sons mental health is going down hill..can anyone suggest how to move forward? Thank you
