been given a diagnosis today for ds2 13 years old , Aspergers . have spent the last 2 years going on to camhs MH workers about ds2 meltdowns , lying, stealing , selfish behaviour mixed with threats of suicide.
he had an ados test 18 months ago and the results / letter said he scored low on it.
about a month ago we finally got an appointment with the psych who i wanted him to see all along but got fobbed off ( at camhs still) and after 1 appointment with ds2 , 1 appointment with myself and dp and 1 appointment with school he is sure its aspergers at the root.
he also said the previous ados had been borderline , makes me wonder why we were told he had scored low ??
i have always had a terrible mistrust of doctors and my fear is that he is wrong . i know i am probably being daft and dp has accepted it wholeheartedly and doesnt want to hear my doubts
i have prayed for answers for 2 years , i need to have faith !
i feel all odd
