Hi,
I haven't posted for ages so thought I would write whats happened and see if any of you lovely people can advise me where to go from here. Warning this will be long.

Right I have a 6 year old ds. When he was 3 i requested he was referred to be assessed for asd. He has a disordered speech disorder, sensory processing disorder, hypermobility.
He was assessed using the ados test where I was told he scored highly enough to be given an asd dx, however due to his speech they wanted to assess him in school. He was assessed for 15 mins in school while he was doing small group work with a ta ( how he works best ) I was told that because this is what they saw him complying with his social communication was too good for him to be given an asd dx. The pead referred him to the anxiety and depression path route.
He was assessed buy the A&d path route in May they said they could sen my dh and I on a cbt course we could do with my ds but it was full and they would be in touch.

Now ds has at least one meltdown a day which have increased in violence to the point now he throws tv's, mattresses, rips stairgates out and throws them down the stairs at me whilst I am trying to get up the stairs. 2 weeks ago during a meltdown he threw a toy which hit my 11 week old baby splitting his head open.
The following day I contacted the paed, anxiety, cahms, gp, hv, school and childrens services. I have been told my ds is dangerous ( no shit ) and if he was an adult we would have a crisis team but because he is a child there isn't one. The medics have said he is marked as urgent and would be moved up the list but we've heard nothing.
He does not explode at school he goes quiet and shows he is troubled by biting his nails, chewing his clothes etc stays on the outside at play times and doesn't mix.
We have no dx and no help what do we do? Where do I go from here?

Dh as a chef is more than equipped to teach ds to swear properly Wink
