Hi 

My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed Autistic and ADHD a year ago.  I’ve learned so much but I need to know I’m not alone in my experiences with school especially.  It’s good to know other parents are dealing with the same things :)

  • Hiya, 

    I'm not a parent but was 16 when I was diagnosed and would like to let you know that school was absolutely awful for me, my mum had to come and collect me all the time because I felt really overstimulated at school, it would lead to me feeling really low. Sixth form was a lot better as I had my diagnosis and things were put in place to support me. What sort of experiences are you and your daughter having?
