Waited patiently for this appointment. In between time we saw his Paed. They merely glanced at the behaviour diary. Admitted Ds was a 'Difficult Child' but was all for signing him off. They don't think he has ASD and they only saw elements of ADHD. Then patronised me into telling me I'm doing a good job as a mum and that I need to have a good working relationship with the school. . I'm a single Mum on Benefits. Saving up for a Private diagnosis is going to take forever.
If anything. Me being nice and honest to the School has been my downfall. The School have said he's fine. We had to visit the Doctors Surgery a while back as he had an ear infection. The first thing his family nurse said to me "he's getting worse snowgirl801 he never used to be this uncooperative". Last week whilst out shopping I bumped into an old friend. First time she'd seen Ds. First thing she said "Is it Aspergers?". Why? Why is it SO obvious to everyone apart from the very people responsible for the diagnosis.
Please if any of you have any advice as to where to go next or who to complain to to get another Paeditrician please do share. Because without I'm just going to give up and let them keep me pegged as the Bad Mum who can't cope with the naughty boy.
