Hello

I would just like to introduce myself.

I am a Mum of an ASD child aged 14. Took me 7 years to get diagnosis. I believe 100% that she also has ADHD or ADD. CAMHS are trying to blame her behaviour all on her ASD diagnosis. I don't believe this neither does my oldest daughter who used to work in SEN and is now a Paediatric Nurse.

I am subject to verbal abuse, mental abuse and physical abuse from my child. Only just recently dad has been affected by physical abuse aswell. Police have been called out so many times as that is what Social Services have told us to do.

I have been told that our parenting skills need to change and that my Mental Heath is fine I am just tired and exhausted. That was from my Social Worker. My Dr says different.

My child suffers with Anxiety, seperation Anxiety from myself, and Anger issues. Attends a school for behaviour issues and learning difficulties.

I have been told to reach out and ask for advice, which everybody seems to be giving me, and it is always different.

Thanks for reading.
