[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 363451, member: 805"] First of all, I would like to welcome you to the site! I believe a lot in a mother's intuition. Do you truly believe that these issues have only surfaced the past month? It is very unusual that a child would begin acting out at 11 with fire setting and general property destruction just "all of a sudden". Sounds like he has had quite a few things to deal with in his young life. I'm not familiar with the healthcare system in Wales (which is my number one dream place to visit by the way!), but here in the states a child with these issues would be seeing a team of docs through a multidisciplinary evaluation, visiting a neuropsychologist for testing or a pediatric psychologist/therapist. You mentioned at the opening that one of his teachers believes he has autism.....this property destruction/fire setting is not typical of autism. Why did she mention that diagnosis to you? Had you wondering about that in the past? How were his developmental milestones like sitting up, walking and talking? What kind of doctor are you visiting? Sorry, but we usually have more questions than suggestions/answers when a new member posts for the first time! When you get a chance, please do a profile signature like you see at the bottom of our posts - just click on "settings" in the upper right corner an go from there! Sharon [/QUOTE]
