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.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
