Hi all,

I am writing this today in pure frustration and at the point of tears. My DS1 is 6 and we have thought for a while that he has had some funny quirks..

When he was at Kindy i spoke to the staff and they said perhaps we should look at getting him assessed for Aspergers. At first my world fell apart, i wondered why my little boy and then i thought about how he reacted around his peers and wondered how can I help him see the world isn't so scary..

Ok anyway to today.. I again brought up my concerns at his 5 yr old health check and was told he is very smart, he is talking to me etc nah i think he is fine... Then another nurse later that yr says to me hmm i think he may be on the lower end of the scale.
I then went to the Drs with my DD and took DS along, the DR actually asked me if he had autism etc due to the way he was playing but again it was left at that. I went back to DS dr who said he is too social, ask his teacher what she thinks so i did... She says to me no he is too social.. to vocal
So once again i leave it thinking well maybe he hasn't... Then this week it begins again, a trip to the dentist reveals he has ground the back of his teeth away, he received two detentions in two days, he refuses to make eye contact and actually cries when forced to.. and then he says a boy tricked him to climb into the urinal at school and kiss it..... He knows that kissing it will make him sick, he knows it is wrong but he cant understand why he did it.. I cant get through to him that this person who told him to do this is not a good friend.

I had a group of friends over on Friday who work with special needs children at kindergartens here... I was talking about Hamish at school and his behavior again and they turn to me and say you need to get him assessed.. One of these has known Hamish from a baby..

I am so confused and don't know where to go from here.. I feel like i have let my little man down
