We have been going through the assessment process for over 2 years now & not yet got anywhere with DS (nearly 10 now)I know in my heart of hearts that DS is probably AS since he was around 3.5. He is very different to other children his age to the point that even people who know little about AS suspect he has it. He has social issues, obsessions, isn't independent like other children his age, comes out with off the wall statements constantly, can show me up in social situations, has had tics in the past & problems with loud noises, high anxiety levels, will hand flap, can still have tantrums etc. I struggle to know how to deal with him at times & need help but my stomach is twisting at the thought that in just a matter of weeks I could have to have it all confirmed to me.
