a good friend said the above to me yesterday and it was really like 'wow' as until now everyone has said to me ds is fine im over worrying and hes just a 'boy' nobody not family, school, OT, Speech therapist, his teacher think there is anything other than mild sensory issues going on. Basically i had 2 friends come to stay who i dont see often and ds done his usual when others are around complete and utter attention seeking, trying to climb on them the whole time bouncing around the room, pulling silly faces, wanting to talk about food over and over and what they like and to pretend it was meal times and what did they want to have over and over for hours on end, getting angry and tantruming over tiny things and having to be physically removed from the room several times by me to try and give them a break i was mortified! he just looked like a really naughty boy maybe he is i dont know, gp app been booked again im going this time even if i do look like a neurotic parent whats new? when they left to go home he finally chilled back out went to play in the garden but just sat on the step for 3 hours wouldnt come in as wanted to be out where its cold apparently but couldnt amuse himself, other kids were passing who he invited into play but they didnt want to play with him he just watched them he looked so sad then blamed me for not letting him out garden to wander around the streets with them but i dont think hes sensible enough for that, least someone else has noticed that hes different and its not just me ahhhhh

I would ask to be refered to a community paediatrician. I was put on anti-depressants when I took my DS to the doctors. I eventually paid privately to a paediatrician who then refered me to them.

The doctors still think I'm an neurotic mother now and speak to me like a child when I go even though he has subsequently had a diagnosis.

Don't give in if you think there is something wrong you know your child best.
