Hello,
I am the mum to a boy who is 7 and diagnosed last april with asd / adhd. Since we had to go through private route as we were getting nowhere with the school, we ended up with a diagnosis but not real support.
My son't main issues are to do with the autism. He is quite sociable but very unaware so he is constantly seeking other children and not really managing to either listen to them or understand them very well. You put in there a dose of adhd impulsive type and the combination is lethal.
He is currently on medication for the adhd. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this type of asd - sociable but essentially struggling. Very sensory seeking and tactile but no understanding of boundaries.
Is there any therapy / training that can / has helped. After all the OT SLT and other help we have got for him. I am feeling drained. Not sure what else I can give him that is going to help make the transition and become more aware. Or maybe he never will and end up with no friends? Thanks for listening.
