G'day from Australia,
This is my first posting here - I am a mum of 3 kids Sarah 6 1/2 (exceptionally bright), Alex 5 (in process diagnose with As and ADHD), and Joshua 2 1/2 (born chronic renal failure).
Josh and Sarah are doing fine, but my husband and I have been fighting medical professionals for about 3 yrs now to find out what our boy Alex has, nobody wants to know or diagnose. He is the sweetest kid, but I feel devastated for him when he has no idea what it is he is suppose to be doing plus a million of other things. Some times he is so good at things - I start wondering is there anything wrong, then he does something to bring me down to earth.
I worry about his education, he starts school next term. About how will he manage when he is older with relationships with friends - already it is affecting his soccer - he is all over the place on the field and is gradually getting less time on - now he doesnt want to play anymore.
What the hell did I do wrong for him to have this, I feel so protective of him that every time he hurts - I do.
Thank you Anj for your posting - it has given me hope of him having a normal life even if he is different.
Can anyone suggest any reading material ???? I would like to know as much as possible so I can help him any way possible.
Thanks, and sorry for the ranting - it has helped me put my thoughts into words
