We have just returned back from holiday and have our first CAMHS for DS tomorrow(he is 6) .
We are seeing the psychiatrist. We have no formal diagniosis as yet, still waiting to see OT and SALT but have seen consultant paed and community paed and are working under the heading 'social and communication difficulties'. It's possibly AS.
The community paed has been very supportive and has helped with school who had sort of forgotten to consider if DS needs help as he is doing so well academically.
She has also got us a fast track appointment with CAMHS. It won't be an assessment apparently, just a meeting to discuss ways of supporting/helping DS.
He has particular problems at the moment with routine (same socks/underpants/food), change at school, and having a very short fuse. He just lashes out at his little brother for nothing or for what he anticipates his little brother is doing. It's horrible to see. He really goes for him, yet he's such a quiet, happy little thing normally.Does anyone else have this?
Anyway, just looking for advice, suggestions, help as it feels really weird to be taking my 6 year old to a psychiatrist!
