Hi, I had my son diagnosed a while ago as highly autistic and ADHD (the hyperactive kind). He is what we call statemented for school. Primary school were helpful as he was mostly acting out there. Got to reading loads of books, went on various courses, still reading books to learn how to deal with him and got to one particular book and WHAM !!! the authors had written my life in it. Now I am working through stuff and on the waiting list for being assessed as an adult with AD/HD. I actually had the nerve to go directly to my local CAMHS to get my girls assessed. My eldest now has an assessment date – whoppee!!! Still waiting for other one. I know it is on its way.
The video of “GRRR” when going through my daily life was exactly how I would describe myself before beginning to go through a grief cycle of acceptance”.
One foot in front of the other on an hourly basis. Sometimes I even get things done that I planned 😀
I have noticed that as I rediscover things and activities that I really enjoy doing I end up going through another grief cycle. I feel like I beginning to rediscover the real me. I am also learning to trust my instincts more.
Thanks 😀
