My son is 5. He has autism and ADHD (recent diagnoses). He suffers from increasingly bad anxiety. Recently He has been constantly saying his 'tummy hurts'. Took him to the GP who found nothing physically the matter. Over the past few weeks he's also started being terrified of being sick. He cries and constantly asks for reassurance that he's not going to be sick. It's affecting his day to day life. I've spoken to school so they are aware, although they haven't given me any advice. I've got an appointment with the GP again in a week to ask for advice. In the meantime, I was wondering if any of you can advise on how I can help him.
He gets DLA money, so I can afford private support, but I'm not really sure what sort of person I'm looking for. A counsellor? A psychologist? Some sort of therapist? I'd be grateful if anyone could direct me! Thanks!
