Posts: 8,288 | Have sent you a message hun xx But yep alot of those things are the same with Ethan, and like you said ADHD didnt seem to fit right, where as AS really does. Lets hope we get our boys diagnosed soon hun.. Ethan is such hard work sometimes but he is so worth it  |

Posts: 8,288 | When Ethan has a good day he is a fantastic kid, but when he has a "naughty" day my goodness he really is bad... He is getting worse with food and will only eat certain things which i have read is normal. He also has this thing where when excited he flaps his hands and opens his mouth wide - this is apparently a very common sign of AS! almost like a tick! I have my HV back out in 4 weeks and we are then being referred to the paediatrician to see if we can start the ball rolling towards a diagnosis. I know its hard work hun, but it makes our boys unique and who they are..  |

 also he rolls his head when he runs?? which is weird as he usually runs into a door or something  as for the 'naughty' my son is known as the naughtiest kid in school, he has a terrible reputation. But what people dont realise is that he cant communicate like everyone else hes just different. i swear the mums at school think im a terrible mother  i know he has days when hes so out of control that i break down and cry, its so exhausting and most of the time you feel like you are talking to yourself because of that 'vacant look'. but his good days make him more than worth it xxx | |

Posts: 8,288 | well hun any support or advice you need i am here for you, I wish people would think before classing kids as just "naughty" Ethan doesnt mean it but he is the way he is, his new thing is gritting his teeth and pushing his head into you when he gets frustrated  its not nice but it seems he cant show frustration in "normal" ways. I have been told its a long process getting AS diagnosed but its what we as mums have to do isnt it! Luckily my HV is great and seems to be 100% behind us on the AS. xx |

If so, then Asperger's would be immediately dismissed. My daughter has PDD-NOS (ASD). You are right...your child will always be your child...no matter what the label.  |

Posts: 8,288 | JASMAK my son does have a language delay, although his speech is improving all the time he is still "behind" other children his age. Hopefully whatever it is he has can be diagnosed, only so he gets the right help with his education etc I love his little traits and wouldnt have him any other way as he is generally such a happy & gorgeous little fellaSeeing as i started this thread about him i thought i would share a pic of him.. So ladies here is my little man Ethan  021.jpg |
