Please help
My DS is 5 years old and I just can't seem to make him happy , ever since he was a baby he rarely smiles no toothless grin smile photo exist hes just always been very mellow really .
He had sensory issues as a toddler he wouldn't touch anything including food and also social issues but with help from the portage team and playgroups he is over that.
The portage team said school would assess for Asperger ect but school say he is fine,
He is incredibly bright and is on the MAT plan and because he has such a vivid imagination they say he isn't on spectrum.
I don't even think I'm explaining this correctly it's hard to put into words, to me he just feels to much that's how it seems, he doesn't throw tantrums and he doesn't get angry he's just very sensitive and emotional a lot and it makes my heart break that we notice when he laughs or smiles because it's rare.
I try everything I really do, we go on days out I'm always playing but he likes to play figures and stay inside and that's ok I think aslong as it's balanced with outside activities to, but I just want my boy to be carefree and happy and I feel like I'm failing him.
Any advice would be amazing sorry for rambling on I hope I've explained this ok
