Hi there
My 16 yr old daughter has just been dxd, which is a welcome outcome, though i am guilt ridden for not doing anything earlier.
The issue here though is that i work ina CAMHs team which is fairly dismissive of ADHD as a dx. Many misplaced and ignorant comments in meetings about ADHD and the causes, including autism.
As my son has been dxd withAsperger previously, i do feel alienated by thos3 comments.
My team is on the whole lovely and supportive, but not used toa 'parent' being present.
I have told people about my son, but i'm apprehensive about sharing about my daughter.
I am even wondring about my future in this job.
Is ther anyone who is in a similar situation?

well I am part of an mdt team and have had people bash the programs my center provides. I take that opportunity to educate them on their ignorance.
