[QUOTE="Matty's Mummy, post: 365262, member: 5222"] Hi Marguerite, we head off tomorrow, the appointment is for Tuesday 9:30am. I was talking on the phone to one of the phycologists at Heart and mind [URL="http://www.mindsandhearts.net/"][U][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]http://www.mindsandhearts.net/[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/URL][SIZE=2] where Tony Attwood is and now I wish we had of called there first. Oh well. They might be more about Aspergers and pigeon whole him or miss what is going on because he doesnt fit Aspergers. Maybe not they sounds really good. she did mention [/SIZE][SIZE=3]psychometric testing, so maybe she does the same. [/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Its all so expensive as well. If our Pead gave us the go head back when it all started, my son would have qualified for the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) funding, think its about $2000 straight up for testing to get parents started. Tuesdays will be $450 then we will see where we go from there. A base line like you said. I keep questioning myself, all because I have the lady from mental healths voice in my head. And our Peads. The Pead thinks he will be fine because he is intelligent. And I start to wonder if I should just ignore these odd things he does. Are they just typical boy stuff? Arh had another mum say to me yesterday that her son does what Matthew is doing, but he stopped after a while. Oh I just dont know. The thought of people thinking Im reading more into what is happening is bothering me, and his teacher again this year says Matthew is the perfect student. All the mums that go up for parent help, Matthew is perfect. At school last week he was doing his new obsession in front of everyone, over and over again, and no-one noticed. None of the parents (they have sports day) none of the teachers just me, I took a few photos of him to show this lady on Tuesday then I felt silly so wont take them. Their all anxiety things, I felt he was anxious about the race and as soon as it was over he stopped. So Im back to, hes just doing these things to help him out when anxious but Id like to find more appropriate ways for him to deal with anxiety. Not good to rub bawled patches in your scalp . The new thing Id rather not say, he is doing over and over again, I feel so sad for him,. Though he is coping and seems like a happy kid in spite of it. When we ask him to try and stop he feels self couscous so Im not getting this part right and need help, without judgement. Hope this lady can do that for us, or one of the Occupational Therapist (OT)s, unlike the mental health girls. Sigh. Will let you know how we get on. Thanks Oh my eldest is settled down now. He is full on into church, ended up in hospital trying to deal with some of the church stuff they were putting in his head. I still worry though he seems in a good place now for quite a while. We moved next-door, straight over the fence, and doing really well. 16yr daughter is trying to sort out subject, shes struggling with modern history and only a C in Maths B the harder maths.
