Hi all.

My grandson (soon to be 7 yrs old) has now been assessed by the umbrella team but we feel we are no nearer an answer to what his problems are than we were at the beginning...in fact we have been left feeling rather confused as to exactly what is wrong with the little man.

Originally he was believed to have Aspergers but now they say he shows some autistic traits but they don't think he is ASD.

He lines things up, is obsessed with trains, has an amazing memory for routes and places, has extremely violent outburst (sometimes these are caused by sensory problems, sometimes they seem to start for no reason), he is very bright but struggles with learning, he brings phrases he has heard on television into virtually all conversations (even when he doesn't know what they mean), he has the concentration span of a gnat, he will walk up to anybody and start talking to them but seems to have very little idea of how he should speak to and treat people, he thinks everything should be...
