Hi everyone,
We thought we'd create a discussion where people can say hello and introduce themselves.
You don't have to say something here but it'd be nice to get a chance to say hello
Please remember that you should not share personal details (such as emails or phone numbers) to protect your privacy.
And don't feel you have to introduce yourself, it's entirely up to you and please only share what you're comfortable with.
Just to introduce myself- I'm, Elfie, Mum of three. I was diagnoised with Asprgers (as best I can make out my parents are all hideously unreliable) when I was about 8. My 9 yo son has just been diagnosed after I fought extremely hard for years and then finally lcuked out with a very supportive SENCO who didn;t tell me it was my fault and that I was a terrible parent.
Joining the forums really, to share experiences and get some peer support- we had been led to belive that there was a raft of support available for us as soon as we had the diagnosis, but the consultant psychiatrist yesterday said she didn't know anything about that sort of thing , she just does assesment and diagnosis.
There you have it!
Elf
