Worried ds is more than just sensitive

[tan32]

I'm glad you went and spoke to your gp. My son has and had very similar issues , he has Aspergers.

I agree whether he does or doesn't getting some tips will help make yours and his life smoother.
I have to say my son is perfect . Nothing has changed we just handle things better now
Who says they haven't got it perfect and its us that are all confused about what perfect is.

and I agree I am sure your son is perfect too.

Some of us mums with ASD kids go through a bit of a grieving process when we get the diagnosis... grieving the "normal" child.

I agree with tan though.... they are still perfect, just a different sort of perfect

He's started biting his nails, I think as a reaction to anxiety. I can't get his hands out of his mouth, his nails are bitten right down.

Things bother him intensely. He'll be sent to near hysteria over almost nothing. Tags on his clothes, socks not on correctly, a drop of water on his top. Yesterday he was in hysterics because I spilt a couple of drops of milk on the ground.

He hates anything out of the ordinary. He notices everything.

OMG this is my DD 5 year old! I might google sensory disorder.....

I don't have any experience with what you are going through. But I just wanted to say I'm sorry that you are having to go through this. It sounds like you've done a very positive thing by getting your GP's advice...And wether it just be a cautionary course with assessments etc, at least you'll have some answers & be able to get the help you both need....Goodluck to the both of you
