Nervous or what?

mumof4boys772

Im so scared, we are finally getting somewhere, after a long 8 years of struggling, of being at the butt of my sons aggresion, him trying to kill himself to strangle me or hurt others.

We have got to the point where the ed pych is comming into school, when the peadatrician gets the ed pych report and his salt reports then she is going to make a decision on diagnoses.

I feel nervous and scared, i know people think diagnoses does not make a difference, but for me I hope that from it he can get help and medication, im just scared that the decision wont be made or we will fall at the final hurdle, then what?

Im fed up of walking on eggshells wondering when hes next going to flip, i haddnt been in work for 3 months because he was kicking off going into school.

Another cover peadatrician reffered my son to complex needs panel but it doesnt exist anymore, so if he doesnt get that diagnooses or the hekp then we are up **** creek without a paddle.

  • Thanks Rachael i am sorry we do have a little help, we have a lady that has started coming to meetings and parent partnership are coming to a taf in a few weeks.

  • Have a look in your local area.  We have charities in our area that point us in the right direction for the things we need.  They will help you with dealing with the doctors and school and anything else you need.  Or go to your doctors and ask what they do for carers and what services are available for carers 

  • Hi Rachael thanks for your reply, we have a little outside help where we pay to have him bowling once a week or in half term we can pay £10 a day for him to go to an acitivity club, but thats about it, we dont have any support as my mums died my dad is ill and ohs mum is old and ill xxx plus we moved away from all our families xx

  • It took us 7 years of struggling to get a diagnosis of ADHD and high functioning ASD.  You will get there eventually, there is a light at the end of a tunnel and all this fighting for it to happen makes you a stronger person.  It may not feel like it now but it will happen and you will realise how strong you actually are.  

    Have you got any outside help with all this?? I've been in contact with charity's who help.  Speak to school they should be helping with all this(should be being the word).
