Ask Mum ?

matty6

Hello.  I'm trying to gather some info from my childhood regarding traits. 

I've had input from childhood friends and one of my primary school teachers but there's an obvious omittion...  My Mum.

I have a good idea of how this will go. 'Oh that was a long time ago, why would you want to think about that?'.

I know that when I was struggling with reading, writing, maths (a general not concentrating thing) when I switched to junior school, I had a special lady do some tests on me.

I don't know what they were for but.. idk.  I have this feeling that my Mum might have known something?

It's a lot more complicated but that's Mums for you :)

Any thoughts ?

  • Hi, you don’t actually need a parent. I’m older and my mother is too old to help and the same as you, she doesn’t want to understand autism. It’s thought of as an attack on their parenting skills. I went to my GP and he referred me within 10 minutes. I’ve had the questionnaires from the mental health team and have been accepted for an assessment. Only you know how you feel inside, school reports could also be helpful. I was put into remedial lessons, when I questioned my mother as to why, she was totally unaware that any of this had happened.
