Cant believe how much of an impact all this has had on my other kids, just want reassurance it will get better xxxx

  • This is true. I am 24, the same age as your daughter, and was only diagnosed age 21. School were hopeless, and my parents - particularly my Mother - were blamed. I got assessed age 10 by an Ed Psych and was given an IQ test. This showed a massive gap between my verbal and performance ability. Highly verbal  - my reading age was 15, but my comprehension age was only 8 - I could not understand chronology, shapes, maths, and I was, I quote, 'emotionally immature'. But nothing was done. It took a worsening of my OCD for me to finally get diagnosed, but not without a fight.
