Hi, nice to meet everyone.
Was hoping for some help and guidance. My son is in the process of being diagnosed with adhd and autism, he has been diagnosed by a doctor and a specialist advisor at his school but needs to be assessed by a social worker before we can get an official diagnosis. Me and my partner have separated because he couldn't deal with it, so I've been left to deal with this myself. I also have a 6 year old little boy. At the moment I'm currently working part time in a call centre 5-6 days a week. I'm really struggling at the moment to deal with my son and also go to work. I'm constantly getting calls from his school, his speech therapist, social worker and childcare centre all of the time whilst I'm at work. Unfortunately in my work place I'm not allowed to have my phone out and not allowed to use it, eventhough I have explained my situation with my son. I'm struggling to balance everything and it's causing me to become unwell from all of the stress. Problem is, if I come out of work we can't afford to survive. We have no family and no one to help.
How are other parents dealing with this?
How are you able to make everything work?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
