Hi there,
Started all this as feel confident that my 7 year old son is ADHD and Autistic and is struggling in many ways, particularly school and friendships. So my main aim is to help on path to a diagnosis and to then get a better understanding of what support we as a family can give him. He's a sweet sensitive chap but feels low esteem and can often get disregulated and I want help him cope better.
In doing this I feel like I may also be autistic and have masked for many years. I did an online assessment for whatever that's worth, but it also makes sense of how I've felt a lot of my life. I feel I've coped fairly well but I find it's helpful to understand myself and my needs and to feel less guilty about the ways I feel different. But I feel like I have coped well, but I'm here to mainly help my son who definitely needs more help, but he just about copes at school whereas others needs are more visible
