HI all i have 3 children 7 and 5 year old boys and 3 year old girl eldest dx asd,adhd,dyspraxia and sensory integration dysfunction. little girl referred but we have to wait and see how she copes in nursery. our problems are with our 2nd son. who has been in the process for 3 years now. paed says he doesnt fir on spectrum, to us this is an issue as we are 110% certain he is. diff like, severe obsessions like germs,wont get in bath unless bleached in front of him, he sits in the corner hand flapping when stressed, he constantly lines objects up and doesnt play with toys, he is very violent and aggressive esp to parents and siblings, he thinks he doesnt belong in family cos he only one with blue eyes, he cant dress himself, is incontinent both ways,falls over 12 plus times a day, needs constant twiddling and sensory stimulation, no eye contact whatsoever, avoids interaction at all costs, sleeping difficulties, hyperactivity,total defiant and oppsitional, speech is formal and learned,in school they cudnt cope so had one to one all year,said he cudnt be in class without support, he sat in corner with back to class rocking and squealing. To us these are a little more than traits they are real issues that affect him at all times, he has been discharged from speech therapy cos he has speech, which aspergers children do. paed not concerned when showed videos of 6 weeks hols she told multi agency behaviour was fine, the video was shocking hand flapping, battering friends and siblings, lining up objects, all apparently, normal. does anyone have any advice as we cant wait another 3 years he is getting more violent each day and needs help now, paed said he too young to look at adhd even though she diagnosed his brother at his age. i cant find an asd proffessional to show videos too. we have asked for 2nd opinion, anyone experienced dr ******** in liverpool autism pathway. any advice would be welcome we feel he has been treated badly by paed who is top doc in liverpool who has ignored all school reports since nursery that clearly point to asp,adhd.

Hi Joshanddanfans,

 

Sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience with trying to get a diagnosis so far. Hopefully the second opinion you've asked for will provide the answers you're looking for.

 

I've removed the name of the doctor from your post as forum rules don't allow the naming of professionals - sorry! There's still enough information in your post for anyone with local knowledge to respond via pm.

 

Good luck,
