My son is 4 been having issues for along time. Here is a little back ground. For over a year we have been referred to a peads. When I took him he got referred to phyiso and has hypermobility.
Now they have said he doesn't fit the ASD criteria.
He have massive problems sleeping and has the max of 4 hours per night and that's a good night. His eating is very rigid only eats dry foods and certain foods.
He is lovely just likes to spend a lot of his time alone and doesnt understand social ques. He says thing that are a little rude to people and doesn't realise even when I try to explain that he shouldn't say or speak to people like that. He doesn't get jokes and is very literal when talking. He does hug me which we have worked towards for along time and now I finally get a kiss which has a pattern to it my cheek forehead, other cheek and then my nose. Eye contact has improved massively.
He has an obsession about sticks and has done for over a year now to even wanting to sleep with them. He is at a childminders who have been so good because he doesn't tend to play with children and for example he like to build towers with bricks and if another child goes near him or tries to touch it, he has a full melt down that's he screams and cries real tears, he can hurt him self, for example pinching his own arms or biting him self when stressed about it. Anything he builds he wants to keep it like that and no one to touch it. He does talk but won't talk to anyone who he doesn't know use I explain for days that we are going to see people. I am now lost as I am told this is normal for his age. My other children are not like this. We have good days and bad and now I feel alone dealing with all this. Anyone who can help even with a little advice please.
