seen by my hv several times in the past few months, the first time was for his two year check, but he was quite unhappy and didn't want to take part so she made another visit
She has referred him to speech and hearing therapy and also a pediatrician for his behaviour which she said seemed quite challenging, she asked about his diet, sleep patterns etc.
He does not sleep some days until 3am but has no afternoon sleep, and seems full of energy all time, he can speak but only a few single words and no sentences, he constantly says why, but he does hear me because he turns his head when I call his name.
I do have to put him in my bed because he just jumps around screaming, I have tried techniques for bed time routines and he's just not interested, he would have to share a bedroom with his brother 11 but this is impossible and my other son needs to sleep, night time is a nightmare and I do find it hard but we manage he rocks from side to side while laid down and smacks me when I am lying with him, this goes on for ages, sometimes he settles if I rub the side of his face or his back gently, but if I stop he has a full blown tantrum and screams the house down.
He plays with his cars and does line them up, he likes to spin the wheels on them, but will play with other toys too, eating is fine, he's a good eater.
He likes to spin sometimes and his eyes go to the side when he does, but constantly screams. Oh and he likes anything chaotic, for instance, if Tom and Jerry is on and they maybe crash into a wall he laughs and laughs.
I'm not saying anything is wrong I am just asking myself why she has referred him that's all, I have looked at autisim and I asked if it could be that and she said she couldn't say. He doesn't have a lot of autisim traits that's why I dont think it will be. Just looking for advice and feedback ... Thank you everyone and hope I haven't mumbled on too
