We have spent the day at the beach today. Ds14 who has severe SEN ( Autism, ADHD and a genetic duplication which have recently been told means nothing after being told for years it might have caused his SEN) plus other SEN issues, knocked two drinks over. I was saying I think he is dyspraxic like his brother, I'm not sure how but this conversation got into hearing voices. He told me that he hears voices. They tell him to do bad things and it's been there since he was in primary school. He is year 9 now. He got really upset and started to cry so I haven't asked more.
He started ADHD meds in Feb, but the voices pre date this. He is under children with disabilities CAMHS for his meds and has no path to go outside of the CWD team. Eg he had no ability to bypass and go via right to choose.
He sees CAMHS in June for a ADHD meds review. He is on mediconect ? But I feel it's not working at 20mg.
What worries me is that his 22 year old brother hears things he knows aren't real. Like a shelves unit falling over. But there's nothing like this in my or dh family. ( that we know if, ds severe LD are totally poo-pood dispite being non verbal at 7 I'm made out to be making him to be worse than he is and he will grow out of it. He goes to a extremely expensive SEN school over 20 miles away so it's really not that he is just a fragile anxious child.
Can this wait until I see camhs? Should I tell his CWD socail worker on Thursday ( routine check in) or leave that convo for the Dr?
