Hello I am growing increasingly concerned for my 3 year old who has been having a lot of problems which began to surface about a year ago. He has trouble with walking and he's movements are very rigid, fine motor skills, socializing, speech and behaviour is very negative. I have been seeking help and got no where until I informed he's health visitor of these problems. She dealt with it wonderfully and 2 weeks later I saw the consultant, he has hd bloods for various things and an MRI test, we get the results on 14/06/13, this Friday. My issue is that I have a 4 month old baby aswell and my 3 year olds behaviour is becoming very bad, I cant do anything (even go to the toilet, or talk on the phone) without him doing something naughty or screaming and throwing things. I have no idea where to go for support without people thinking that I cant cope. I just need some pressure taken off me, my family all work and im becoming a bit stressed. Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong with him and how I can get support?
He has seen physiotherapist who said the same as the consultant (about he's unusual gait, constant falling over, walking, rigid movements etc.) she said that its not a physical problem, its a block from his brain telling his body the wrong messages, that's another reason why he had an mri. He is on the waiting list to see a speech therapist and an occupational therapist. I've had no help at all I feel pretty much a recluse at the moment, everyday things like shopping are an absolute nightmare, my son cant walk long distances without becoming very tired and frustrated. I have a buggy board but this doesn't solve the problem. He is toilet trained but I cant let him go by himself because he falls down the stairs without assistance, this is partly to do with the fact that his brain runs in overdrive and he cant focus, but mostly its a physical problem as he kind of crawls up the stairs.
Also can I claim DLA For children without a diagnoses?
Thank you.
