Got the diagnosis

Recommended Posts

Finaly got my son diagnosed after spending the first ten years of his life being told it was all in my head or the old favourite hes a boy,i gave up in the end.Then three years ago when my son was 19 i asked his gp how i went about trying againe to get him diagnosed as an adult a 2 year waite to see a physcologist ,its taken from june last year to this week though to get the final draft and diagnosis through.Hes on the spectrum ,weve known that all along.Why bother now i guess people wonder,well to ensure its easier to acess services if and when needed and to ensure theres no more argy bargy when it comes to benefits .

 

No one can argue the toss with me and my son now.

Congratulations! They often get it wrong, and you have to push and push for a diagnosis. After all, you know your son best. Better now than much later as it was with me.

Maybe its better now, I would never have worked, or got to be a Technical Manager with this loaded diagnoses, I am in my fifties now and this diagnoses has caused me nothing but trouble since I got it, I think its better to avoid it if at all possible. If your son can manage to avoid mentioning this diagnoses it will help his future in finding work and a mate.

My son needs the diagnosis he is on the spectrum and also has additional learning needs,fulltime jobs,independant liveing are just a dream that might not ever happen.He does ok but needs a lot of support.

Sorry, I am very high functioning. We differ. Yet still, I have no children, if I did I would not let them get away with anything. Its important to give support, you have a limited life, what after? Its hard, my body is failing, so will his, then what? Do not expect anyone else to help, it just will not happen.

I have an archers build, my sides match on the diagonal.
