Newly diagnosed

poppy

Hello Everyone,

Im new here so hope this is in the right place...

My son is 28, and has only just been diagnosed, even though weve always known, we were always just told 'he just has Learning disabilites'

So in one way im glad i now know, but in another i wish i didnt, its so much info to take in and i dont really know where to start :(   I was told to look on this site for help and support.

So if anyone else out there is in same situation it would be good to chat.

thanks for reading this. Poppy...

  • Hi Poppy,

    My son has just been diagnosed too! He is 14 years old.

    Just like you it has not come as a surprise but I still feel like the bottom just fell out of my world.

    I am relieved at having a diagnosis, angry that it took 12 long years of fighting to be heard and  being turned away and also grief stricken.

    So if you want to talk or rant I am here for you
