We are just at the very beginning of what may be a long (or short journey) but I am struggling to know how to explain the various appointments to DS. We are having him reviewed for social communication difficulties mainly. His language and comprehension are very good and he knows something is up. We had our first SALT session today and a hearing test. He clearly found the SALT session really hard and stressful and had a meltdown at bedtime.
I had just said he had an appointment and after that it was for us to work to communicate and play with him better. I feel like I’ve messed it up and he thinks there is something wrong with him and that we don’t love him in the same way.
Sorry if I haven’t explained enough. Struggling with it all really. Any advice appreciated.
