at the end of my teather.

hi guys!!!

im new to this group but to be honest ive been searching for one for a while now and so im hoping this one will have some friendly  members that could use a listening ear as much as i can. my story : im a 28 year old mother to three beautiful children whom i love very much , i have to daughters age 9 and 4 and a son age 8 .

my 8 year old son has allways been up and down from a young age, he was first assessed by a  member of CAMHS at the age of 25months, (YOUNG I KNOW) but after a couple of home visits with a health visitor they ruled it to terrible two's, so i continued to try new techniques in order to make things better.

i attended a parenting course when he was 3 years old and this course al though it was full of amazing ideas nothing seemed to suit my child,  if anything it made it worse.behaviour became more challenging as time went on and when he came to the age where he would start school well that is when the social struggles became apparent to us and the school, he wasnt able to be in amongst other children with out lashing out, eye contact was minimal and speach wasnt great, he required more one to one than they could provide and so he was moved to an early intervention unit, they where brilliant with him he came a long way during a short time but the social struggles remained challanging.

at the age of 7 he was finally diagnosed with ADHD and also ODD , this ment that all the time we struggled there was some answers to be had , i thaught great this is it but no, its just the beginging he was given medikinet for his adhd but this gave him side effects of verbal ticking aka tourettes, which has now remained a constant side affect although we have come off the medication, his social and learning abilities are worrying the CAMHS department and they now believe he has ASD on top.

He has been suspended from school 4 times i n the last year and he doesnt do  FULL DAY EDUCATIONALLY WHEN HES IN SCHOOL EITHER, i often get called to collect him due to meltdowns, other mums and dads despise him and verbally express it to their children whom then pass it on, he is isolated he has no friends and has  low self esteme , i feel society is not wise to children that have conditions like this and theyr labled the naughty ones.

its now isolating me as im now homeschooling him due to his hate for school and socialising, its effecting my housing as others complain all the time and its affecting his health and mine and my husbands, i need to vent to someone who understands as many dont xxx

thanks
