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 ?

Parents

  • A) what about dad? Or other older relatives who knew you growing up?

    B) whether you 'have' to have a parent / older relative available for interview to get a diagnosis is a bit of a postcode lottery.

    C) You don't really need to interview her yourself to get a referral from your GP. Just make sure she's willing to talk to the specialist about your childhood after the referral.

    D) sounds like you've no other choice to just bite the bullet and ask her.
