After events after the last few days,im really worried about my ds's 5 mental state. He has sensory modulation disorder (this far, although he obviously has something else which is undiagnosed at the moment)
Last Thursday had great trouble getting him dressed for school (well more than usual), he was hissing at me, kicking, pinching, punching me.
After school Thursday he tells me he wasnt allowed to go on a school outing because i didnt fill out the form. He also tells me he got a sad face on the board for strangling another boy, but that it didnt really happen as his teacher was dreaming. If i asked him questions about it, he just rambled and made no sense.
Friday - in hospital having some teeth removed.
Sat - Ds draws a map of his 'special place' and insist i take him there, i try explaining that its only pretend and you have to pretend to go there. He is having none of it and keeps going on and on about me getting my shoes on and taking him there. When i refuse, he goes and puts his slippers on and attempts to walk out of the front door to go there. (he has done this before)
Sun - He takes my older sons ipod and hides it (this is a regular thing so i know exactly where it will be) he then denies all knowledge of it and tells me 'George' took it. (George is an imaginary friend)
On Monday i tell teacher i didnt receive a slip for the outing and was wondering why i hadnt been given one or whether there was another reason he wasnt allowed to go. She tells me, i didnt need a slip as no one got one and that the whole class went. He still insists that he wasnt allowed to go and spent the day with a TA playing with a few others who also were not allowed to go on the trip.
I also ask her about the strangling another child as im not sure what to believe anymore and she confirms this is true and i wasnt informed because the school had dealt with it. (i know i need to speak to the school,im currently having a few problems with them,but thats another thread)
Also ds can never recall an earlier event or what happened yesterday without slipping in and out of reality and fantasy and he doesnt make any sense.
I have an appointment with a Paed on the 1st October would you wait until then to speak to someone?
Would you treat this more urgently?
Am i being overly concerned and a drama queen?
