Took my son to his paediatrician for his ADHD checkup. She’s giving us a referral to a psychologist for an autism assessment. He ticks a lot of boxes. His ADHD has just been so dominant (he’s 5) that the autism was overlooked. I’m keeping an open mind. My partner’s 16 year old son from a different marriage is very autistic. I’ve always told my partner he has traits of autism but he brushes me off like it’s nothing. But I’m convinced there’s something there.

Thanks for listening.
