Does anyone know if there is a similar service to the 'right to choose' scheme? It isn't available in Wales and I've been researching and researching to see if there is anything similar here but I've had no luck.
I really feel that a huge wait time (which I know is probably inevitable) will be super difficult. I'm looking for an assessment for both myself and my child. I wonder if I can call for both of us at the same time? I struggle with communicating effectively anyway so this is a pretty hard deal for me to even pick up the phone and speak, especially about something so important.
I'm at the point where my ND is clashing with my child's ND (we are self diagnosed ATM, however I've know for a while that I'm auDHD, and my child is showing prominent signs of ADHD) I'm struggling with keeping calm, when I'm trying to calm my child down, I don't really understand the emotions I feel and I can't help him with his as I have no idea where to start. He's seeing how I handle things in the wrong way :(
I'm just at a point where I need some help. I'm struggling to make the call, know what to say, be calm, be less irritable, be happy! I'm ranting I think. TIA x
Just another thought, we have a local ish charity which offers free advice. Do you have anything similar in your area? They helped me with choosing how to proceed with my son’s assessment. I don’t think they can give tailored guidance but can give the right things to seek and questions to ask.
