7 year old DS has major issues with self esteem, gets upset and crys saying he is not good enough after doing tasks, complains school is too noisy in class, he is easily distracted from doing stuff. Fidgets alot, has meltdowns playing with friends, school not referring to cahms. Any suggestions

I’d recommend going to his paediatrician, it sounds like it could be a possible case of autism, or it could just be anxiety either way a paediatrician would be able to help.

It doesn't have to be school who refer to camhs. Go to your GP and they will refer him but be aware there will be a long wait and they are notoriously useless when you get there. If you can afford it I would see a private educational psychologist.
