[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 360651, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board. Unfortunately, I don't know much about how you get assessments in the UK, but I was wondering how his social skills are (with his same age peers). Does he know how to play appropriately with toys? Does he know how to interact with his classmates appropriately? Can he hold a give-and-take conversation or does he mainly talk AT people about obsessive interests? Does he HAVE an obsessive interest? Is he sensitive to noise, light, crowded places, new textures, some food textures? How does he eat and sleep? Can he transition from one activity to another or does that usually cause ragings? Any psychiatric or neurological disorders on either side of the family tree? Sounds like many of our kids who are wired differently and don't respond to normal parenting methods. It's not you or your hub. It's the way he is hardwired. You will probably have to go outside-the-box to think of ways to help him, and the first thing you need to do in my opinion is to get an evaluation. If you lived in the US, I'd tell you to go to a neuropsychologist. I love them. But I don't know about your options there. Others will come along. Welcome again :) [/QUOTE]
