Per the title, DS is 2 weeks off of being 3. I've had some concerns regarding his behaviour. I reached out to the HV who said I needed to speak with the "nursery stages behaviour team" and they'd contact me in a week. In the mean time I was told to use the text services and that was as helpful as a chocolate teapot in the Sahara desert. They seemed to have no clue, she didn't know who the CDC was, she told me to "just ignore" when he's launching things down the stairs or slapping his brother, she said to "just give him a snack whenever he starts" and as soon as she found out DS2 was awaiting his CAMHs assessment she immediately washed her hands of it.
When the "behaviour team" finally contacted me a month later she again was useless, I was told as I'd made a self assessment to Portage she'd call me back the following Monday so she'd have a clear picture and surprise surprise this was 2 weeks ago and hasn't happened.
Portage have agreed it's not "typical terrible 2's/Threenager" behaviour and he's been accepted on their waiting list but you're talking at least 12-18+ months.
I've just filled in the ASQ:SE-2 36 month questionnaire and he scored 175. The cut off for referral is 105. The highest being on page 3 with 65.
Any ASD/ADHD etc referrals have to be made through CAMHs who won't let you refer them till 5 and over. So I'm at a loss with what exactly am I suppose to do or where i'm suppose to turn. I had a long 6 year battle with DS2 to get his referral and I don't know If I can do it again
