hi all. my son is 4 years old. i have suspected he had problems since he was 2. all my concerns were wiped away by people saying he is young and give him time. he started school in september and his teachers think he has aspergers. after reading up on aspergers i realise it describes 100%. his teacher is going to get a 'sen' person to observe him and she said go from there! i am lost as to what to do next! how long does it take to diagnose? will he get one to one care at school? what help will i get? its breaking my heart having to run away from him every morning when i leave him at school knowing he isnt happy and hearing his screams! how can i help him?
some of the things he does is...
lines things up
obsessed with bowling. if a skittle gets knocked down by someone else he flies off the handle!
dosnt talk unless promted to!
limited speech.
wakes up to 10 times in the night demanding things like his bottle, blanket, hug. (still sleeps in my bed!)
refuses to wear different clothes so i have to buy 5 of the same items of clothing he will wear!
started lashing out at his 5 year old sister if she invades his space or his skittles/bowling!
fascinated by numbers. learnt to count before he could talk!
started making tic repeated sounds!
at school he screams most of the day and refuses to let go of his coat. when i pick him up from school i see him sitting on the carpet rocking backwards and forwards until he see's me then he runs out.
still uses the buggy as he has no awareness of danger and tires easily.
the list is endless..
