Mum Carly told the optician that he had been suffering from minor headaches, as well as feeling tired and grumpy at the end of the day.
An East Lothian mum has told how she was glad she listened to her 'gut feeling' after her son's headache turned out to be cancerous brain tumour.
Carly, a domestic abuse practitioner, said: "So many people have asked me about Mason's first signs and symptoms - but the truth is, he didn't really have any. Because we managed to catch it early, Mason was strong when he went into surgery and had his treatment. Carly let her know that Mason had experienced some minor headaches - but due to his autism spectrum disorder , believed sensory overload was the cause.
Carly told Mason's doctor about his headaches and tiredness at the end of the day. The doctor ordered a child-friendly MRI, just to make sure all was okay. Carly received a call from Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and told to come in straight away. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
