I know there's probably been a million threads around this subject but would love a response to this worry/ anxiety festering away. My ds is 13, soon to be 14. He will be seen for assessment/diagnosis in December. From getting him on list (January 2018) to being seen 12mths later, I notice a huge difference , for the worse, in him. Regression and very immature. Stuck and very anti social and it's getting very difficult for the whole family. His childish behaviour is driving his 10 year old sister round the twist.
My question is , and it's niggling me so much. If I had acted sooner, would his behaviour be different ,? Less immature and more able to cope. ?
I am beating myself up with this and should have acted at least 6/7 years ago. I must have been in denial but now , it looks like plain ignorance. Wtf have I done ?
If this had been looked at sooner, would his childish behaviour be less so ,? I'm driving myself mad here....and look at the time ! Canny sleep..😞😔😔😔

I doubt it, I personally think that early intervention helps you to understand more and put strategies in place to help both him and the whole family to understand him but they are who they are and it is equally hard for him.

Thanks for reply arista. I love him so much and just want to help him. I feel like I've failed. And I worry so much for the future for him. ......
