[QUOTE="Pinkmum81, post: 498690, member: 13622"] I am in the UK but looking for help/support wherever I can :) I definitely was leaning towards the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) when he was younger but from what I have experienced with his older brother because he can play imaginatively and make eye contact they have a tendency to say the child can't possibly be autistic. I think even professionals have a very rigid idea of what autism is and dont always accept how varying it can be. Originally they said my eldest had ADHD traits but have since moved more towards the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) as he has gotten older especially as he has sensory issues (always has to have socks on, doesn't like loud noises/crowds ,used to complain it was too bright). DS2 can play and interact with other children and can seem so 'normal' it can hard for people to understand that he has issues in the home. Sleep is still an problem, he will sleep at night now but either wakes really early or he wakes in the night saying he has seen things or just talking out loud and I have to tell him it's night and he has to go back to sleep. I will definitely look at the questionnaire. I have an appointment with my family doctor on Wednesday to talk about DS2 to get things in motion. [/QUOTE]
