Our GP is refusing to refer Ds(7) for ASD diagnosis, husband and I believe that DS fits perfectly the description of (what was) Asperger's. I have suspected ASD since he was tiny but really the only noticeable aspect in a brief meeting is no eye contact which GP states is normal, despite DS not looking at him directly once whilst they talked.
I struggle with DS's defiant behaviour which I believe comes from a place of anxiety.
Can anyone recommend a "user manual"? I figure if I try and manage him like a diagnosed ASD child then that might help us. Any bed time reading (screen free!) people think might help?
