Hi I am waiting to hear when my son Glen's mental health assessment will be just hope it isn't much longer. At least Glen is going to school now (which he wasn't before) via the school taxi service although he is extremely anxious each morning so its not easy.
Every afternoon when Glen gets home he asks for pyjamas and bed. He also asks for pyjamas at the weekends after breakfast would you believe, which is strange because you would think that he knows he's not going to school saturday and sunday and he would be happy just to be downstairs in the lounge. I just let Glen put his pyjamas on let him lay down for a while because I don't know what else to do. If I try and prevent Glen putting his pyjamas on he will then get aggressive /self harms/anxious so to keep the peace I give in to him. Once he's laid down for a while i will get him up and he appears fine but still keeps his pyjamas on whilst sitting downstairs. Glen has no interest in doing anything at home apart from strangely enough, washing up he never refuses. I watch him play with the water pours it on his hands, a sensory thing I guess?
I just wondered if anyone else had been through this experience with their child
