Today my 17 year old daughter who is awaiting autism adhd assessment became very overwhelmed because she, like me is really worried about the whole assessment process. After years of being misunderstood and trying to access support and being denied in the past, there is this fear that no matter what we write on the forms, whatever documented evidence we provide, it won’t be enough. We are hanging on in there, doing what we’ve been asked, completing necessary forms etc. But how do you boil down all of the moments over a life time into something coherent. It just feels impossible.
