My youngest has finally had a diagnosis of ADHD after 4 years of tests and assessments, starting in Edinburgh when he was 5. I know it doesn't change him it's just sad that it's a stereotype that we think of when a child is labelled with ADHD. Everybody thinks naughty lad, uncontrollable which isn't Conor at all. It's not behavioural at all. Just his learning and concentration. He's such a loving wee boy. I'm just sad for him. They want to medicate him with methylphenidate as a morning dose to aid his concentration at school. They feel it was his bacterial meningitis as a baby that may have caused it. I know it won't change him but I'd hate him to be treated differently. Time will tell I suppose xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com
My god-daughter has asbergers but with the right support as a youngster by the time she wet to high school no extra support was needed & none of her friends even know she suffers. I'm sure with you as his mummy he will do just great now he has his diagnosis. My sister is a uni lecturer & a nurse specialising is ASD & I know how with the right things in place your boy can lead a completely different life to those who go undiagnosed xx
