Worried ds is more than just sensitive

[loulabelle]

Thank you all so much for your replies. It's really good to hear both outcomes.

Went to my gp today, we spoke for so long. Heaps of things popped into my head that hadn't previously, clicked as being similar to the other stuff. Him being overly sensitive to smells that I can't even smell, picking up sounds etc. I felt awful saying these things, like saying my boy isn't perfect when he is, perfect in every way in my eyes,regardless. I was sure to tell her how he often plays very normally ( what's normal?!) too.

She did think his behavior warrants an assessment for autism spectrum and anxiety. She also said that even if he's given the all clear with these things, it will probably be really helpful for me, to learn ways of parenting him. So, I've got the referral and she's meant to be a lovely doctor. I'm scared to ring though, because I'm scared if what might be the outcome. I don't want my boy to have to go through anything in his life, I want his life to be easy. I know that sounds kind of silly, nobody has a perfect life. it just pains me to think about.

Anyway, I guess I should try not to worry about things that I don't know yet, it's just hard though.
