Finally diagnosed at 15

My eldest son is 15. 2 days ago he was diagnosed with ASD and ADD. 

Its a very long story but due to waiting lists and house moves and rubbish school sencos I have been banging my head on a wall for years!!! 

My sons school were not interested as he's a quiet introspective boy and internalises his problems, brining them home to the safety of mum to play out whatever anxiety the day has brought. 

But his mock gcses showed that his work has slipped enormously, and that coincided with the school employing a new senco. It was 3 months from my first concersation with her to actual diagnosis!!!!! The sense of frustration and relief really is something else. 

Part of me wants to complain about the old senco- officially. Part of me is so angry with myself for not standing up for myself better on his behalf. And part of me is jsut so enormously overwhelmed by the help he's about to receive to get through  his exams and move on to college. I'm relieved and exhausted, and have a sense of 'now what do I do?!' 

Im glad for resources like this and think I'll be reading rather a lot 

nice to meet you all x
