Scattybird – I emailed that link to my psychologist friend and the reply I got was very curt – ‘Sorry. Still completely unconvinced. I hope you find what you want.’ That was it. How unsupportive is that?! And this woman is a team leader in a primary care trust working with adults. I’m actually gobsmacked. I think I’ve offended her ‘professional opinion’. But, she isn’t me and she doesn’t know how I feel or have felt more most of my childhood and adulthood. I had no idea there was so much controversy around it and I can see that I will have a fight on my hands.
I’ve decided to do a little work on me and my son. I’ve made a chart for each of us with each symptom/criteria down one side and the days of the week along the top. I’m just going to monitor his behaviour and how I’m feeling over a couple of weeks to see where the flash point are and to see if his behaviour is worse when mine is (I already know the answer…). Thought it might help to take that along when I finally see a doctor. Just an idea.
Thank you everyone for being here – I think if I hadn’t been talking to you, my ‘friend’s’ reaction might have put me off persuing this any further and I’d be back to square one again, stuck in an unhappy rut watching my son hurtling towards the same unhappy fete as me.
