Been to see clinical psych this afternoon.
She says that CAMHS have finished their assessment of DS and that he has "complex needs", this is despite them only seeing him at the hospital and not in school or home, but no they have finished the assessment.
OK then i thought thats good because we are going to get him assessed by a private psych who will come and see him how he normally is at home.
She then said that i have to stop DS from watching TV and playing out if he does not sit down and do worksheets during normal school hours, she said to start it off from 9-12, 3 hours a day of him sitting down and doing work with me.
Then next week he is to work school hours at home, how the heck can i get him to do this if he absolutely refuses to do so?
Chain him to the chair?
And the reason he has trouble with his social skills is because we as his parents have been giving him too much attention and he is lacking in social skills as a result oh and she recommends that me and DH go on a parenting course.
She wants to see "evidence"of him doing work as she has told him "it is illegal for you not to be at school and your mum and dad can get into trouble off the authorities"
She has told him "you will have to go back to that school, its not something that you have any control other so you will have to accept it"
Im absolutely fuming, how dare she say that me and DH are not parenting him properly, and that the problems he has are not due to ASD but our lack of parenting skills, and then to tell him he will have to go back to that school?
Even we would not say that to him, he has been bullied for years at that school and its not a decision we will be making lightly.
Im so so annoyed.......
Rant over now.
