Mannify Report post Posted September 28, 2012 I'm glad the community paediatrician listened to you. It really is frustrating when people don't see what you see, isn't it? Does it look like he'll be assessed for ASD? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekster Report post Posted October 11, 2012 I'm not sure if you are aware but dyslexia can mimic ADHD (also co occur) so you might wish to get an assessment for dyslexia as well. if you can video him doing unusual behaviours and submit that as evidence to doubting 'professionals'.

Starlight Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Hi Jamie, Some of your son's behaviours sound a lot like mine -interrupting, hates groups, certain clothes, rituals for eating and nappies until he was 4. The doctor said he was fine also, but he had only met him twice and didn't see how my son changes according to the situation he is in and people around him. This is a child that had not particularly spoken to another child in the first three years of school, never mind make friends. Apparently he was fine as he talked to the doctor and hugged me. I really had to argue with the doctor until I think he just relented and sent J for assessment. Before he went for the assessment I made up the most detailed list they have probably ever had describing all his behaviours and giving examples. So it would probably help to keep a record and have other independent people contribute also. A video, as Trekster suggested, would be very convincing. My son is diagnosed now and I just can't wait to go back to the Paediatrician with that piece of paper - ASD confirmed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
