Is my 4yo Autistic?
I am looking for some help please regarding my 4yo and getting an autism diagnosis. I have been butting heads with the school as they are not seeing any signs, but it is very clear to my husband and I that there is definitely signs. Here is what we have recorded so far.
Constant running back and fourth while zoning out.
Constant junping up and down, sometimes flapping his hands, sometimes not.
Rocking back and fourth twisting his hands behind his head and sometimes grabbing his head or neck.
Skin picking, especially toes and fingers.
Constant grabbing of private parts (read this could be a sensory thing)
Meltdowns (tears) over the smallest thing, getting very angry and trying to hit or kick, angry screaming to the point he gets red faced.
Telling us his brain is too loud and busy.
Refuses to eat anything at dinner times, slowly gone off all dinner related foods pretty much bar 2 or 3 meals. (He used ro eat everything and anyhthing) Basically plain food without any sauces. Refuses pretty much every evening meal and again it leads to tears and I can see he struggles to communicate whats wrong.
There are probably more but this is all I can think of for now.
Is it worth making a drs appointment as the school won't help and see what they say?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Xx
