Saw psychiatrist today at CAMHS.
He said DS is definately on the Autistic Spectrum leaning towards Asperger Syndrome.
He wants to see DS on his own next week when he will tell us whether it is HF or AS.
Feel so relieved
We told him what DS school has been like and he frowned, then he said he is going to contact the school and go in for the day in January to observe DS in class and in the playground and HE will then tell school what help DS needs.
He said DS IQ is very superior and he obviously has difficulties communicating and socialising and doesnt understand why school particularly the SENCO has not picked this up.
He was surprised when i told him i was AS and asked me all sorts of questions-he said that i cope with it very well and i told him that i was worse as a child/teenager but that i have learned to cope the hard way.
So myself and DH feel relieved and vindicated at last, thats one in the face for the SENCO!!
