DS has had Covid, but it's really prompted me to realise he's struggling with his school work as goes into a dreamworld. It's very hard to explain, one minute he's present, the next he's acting out something, he's off his chair and you can't get his attention. It's his version of playing, all make believe. He doesn't really play with toys and has never been that taken with them. The dream acting involves playing out senerios, and repetitive movements, but this is the only time he stims ( if it is that?)
He does like collecting things, like certain cars. He is really into computer games too, I have no idea how as me & DH are clueless on these.
Speech delay, did say words pre 1 but then didn't speak until 2.5.
Other background had his tonsils & adenoids out due to excess dribbling age 3. Some glue ear issues.
Doesn't seem to have any friends but everyone says hi to him and he's gaining the confidence to answer now.
He's 6 so year 1. Does get anxiety about going into school and being left anywhere. He cries hysterically, but will be happy if I'm there, but not involved.
I'd say he's ok on food, not adventurous, but not too fussy. Won't have milk or milk in cereal. Can be faddy, so for a few months for example has refused Bolognese and now will eat it. So don't think food isnt an issue really.
Work at school- writing and maths behind maybe more like year R level and writes massive, but is only 6, reading is ok.
What do I ask the GP to refer him for? Potential autism? ADHD ? Both? Nothing ? I don't really know what it could be ?
