DS cries nearly every night and is on the verge of panic attacks about various things eg me dying, him dying someone in our family dying.
He has no friends and school have said he finds it hard to socialise because he will only play games that are to his interest.
He is very fussy about socks endlessly complaining about them irritating him.
He finds it hard to understand imaginative play.
He is overly rough and shouts all the time being unable to use a quiet voice.
He has trouble sleeping.
He had a speech delay.
He has extremely poor handwriting.
He has extreme outbursts if routine is disturbed.
He is aggressive often hitting and kicking me.
He is very dominating.
He has a younger sibling diagnosed with classic autism.
Yet school are saying there is nothing wrong with him and I feel there is. But by school saying to everyone that they refer a select number of pupils each year and while DS shows some symptoms of a developmental disorder they are so mild they would not have referred him.
I feel my DS is very intelligent yet he is under achieve ing and I feel this is because of asd. I also feel his intelligence is masking his issues.
How do I convince cahms to take my word over schools?
