Feel like Im going mad

marina

Hi to all Im new here and as I write this I cant stop crying.My son was excluded from school in Feb and now the secondary school he wants to go to doesnt want him. He was diagnosed with ADHD in Aug 10 after me saying for years he was different in his actions and now yesterday he was diagnosed with autism. I feel so alone and everything is such a battle to get any professionals to help or listen to me. They talk over me like Im stupid or not there. Sorry I feel so low today. Does life get any easier for me and my boy?

  • Thank you for your replies. My son is not in school at the moment. He is being looked after by a mast team. It was actually a person from this team who suggested to check for autism. I have written to the LEA weeks ago but no reply and cant get anyone on the phone to speak to. I need to have a plan of action for myself to get myself focused to help him but it seems so overwhelming that I dont know what my plan should be. Im going to ring the helpline today as I feel there is no one I can explain my feelings to and I just keep crying which definately is no good for my son and other children. Just cant seem to get myself together today.
