Why

Over the last few weeks and months, I have been asking my self the question. Why my parents didn't seek diagnosis while I was a child. I saw many educational psychologists and other professionals. 

I got through so many pencils, because I used to chew them, my concentration levels at school was poor (it still is). I started school in the late 70's, even at an early age i was struggling, from what i can remember even before I started school there were problems. 

I remember having the struggles of being singled out because my work wasn't up to scratch.  

 I'm now 47 and stuck on a waiting list that is making me feel anxious.

  • Thanks all, yes I am frustrated by the NHS waiting times. Unfortunately I can't afford to go private. 

    However, I have called out my health trust, the published waiting time figures of 5 months from referral to assessment interview. I've been waiting for 9 months.
