hi natalie,
yeah I had children services on me last year, when brandon hurts himself has bruises or cuts or even sticks keys in power points i tell day care, they have a lady that comes down from melbourne she went through the books and decided brandon had to many accidents and called children services, the girls tried to tell them that he is in the process of being accessed.he did a variety of test on the results they said if he was autistic the results would be the same on everything but global development delay it wasn't consistent it was up and down it was called the stanford binet intelligence scales he scored 2 standard deviations below average.
his symptoms are has trouble with words and placing them in sentences, his attention span is basically zero, can't read or write or even draw a stick figure, he has mild articulation delay, has trouble with simple task. But he is brilliant at taking apart computers or dvd players of cd players he unscrews them all and puts them back together. I'm from geelong in victoria with him being diganosed we have a lot me help know, he's getting a preschool officer to come in and help him. Then next year he's going to nelson park.
