hello, my DS age 7 has Aspergers, we have a hospital appointment on 17th and I would be grateful for any advice.
He has not been formally diagnosed but I believe and the school that he is ASD. It has been a long road so far and I am so scared for him.
Today he went to a birthday party ( on the rare occasions that he gets an invite!) and came out looking so sad and down, he is usually so happy and thick skinned that other children picking on him never seems to get to him but today he got in the car and cried, he said they chased him, called him names and left him out. I feel devasted, and so angry.
I don't know how to help him.
There have been social interaction problems ever since he started nursery at 2.5, he is extremely bright, clever and is doing so well at school, except for the bullying.
He has many obsessions, the first real one was learning all the bus routes around Brighton and Hove and reciting them to strangers.
He has since had Doctor Who, Hornby, Super Mario and Beano obsessions.
He can recite every single Doctor Who actor who has played the Doctor since the beginning in the 60's and loves putting things in order.
I am hoping a formal diagnosis will help him get the help he needs and would be grateful for any advice.
