DS is starting on the (no doubt) very long process of being assessed for 'something' probably ASD/ADHD but everyone (including DH & I) is very openminded if there is anything else.
CAMHS are definitely going to work with him but say it's a multi agency route. They are going to his school before the summer and assess him - although, they've told him when they're going so i'm quite concerned he'll see her and have an even tighter grip on things, than usual.
BIT were at the meeting last week and said they didn't want to set anything up as they didn't know what CAMHS were going to do with him (camhs were not at the meeting). They mentioned setting up a transitional plan but i've not heard anything since.
He has been 'accepted' by LASC and will probably only be assessed anytime from September so I don't know what will happen there (lasc did not attend the meeting either).
The problem is DS knows he's actions are not the same as his friends and he is always worrying what people think of him and wants everyone to like him, he is desperately trying to hold himself together at school as he doesn't want his friends to see him anything other than a 'class clown' . . Although he's trying he's obviously showing signs of not concerntrating and needing to be prodded by TA to get on with work. He'll shout answers out instead of putting hand up, he gets something in his head and he has to say it. We have alot of problems if there is a temp teacher in and he's previously yawned very loud and saying he's bored.
He comes over as rude/inappropriate to any staff that don't know his issues as well as his teacher and ta.
He has got a great Teacher and TA and he has had them for the last 2 school years so it's going to be a big shock for him, when he looses them.
They have said his schoolwork is still ok but i'm just not sure if or what he needs in the classroom. He won't tell school the extent of his behaviour at home and tries to hide it - they only know from the things I tell them.
Any ideas or points in the right direction would be really appreciated.
