I'm at a loss as to what to do, he does have very low self esteem and has a PDA profile of autism.
He says it quite often but its really ramped up past couple days, since he has been suspended from School.
I'm unsure if he really means it or if he says this as a reaction to when things aren't going his way. Either way I'm approaching it as the former always, I'm being there for him and taking it seriously but I think I need help now.
He has been referred to CAHMS by school but wait list is forever

Why was he suspended from school? That seems excessive for a 6yo unless it was for intentional repeated violence.
Have you talked to him. Sat down and told him you will work things out as a team. Made it clear you are on his side and you know it is fixable. What would he like to happen?
How are the school helping? His form teacher? A referral to CAhms on its own is a bit slopey shouldered.
