Hi there... my first post on this board!
With the agreement of the school, I am potentially about to start the process of having DS assessed for ADHD.
I know nothing about the process, other than some horror stories I'm reading after a quick Google.
Can anyone advise me on what to expect? Presumably I have to go to a GP first?
Is it worth seeking a private referral?
If he does get diagnosed, what does that mean in terms of education? School are trying hard with him, but I can't see a diagnosis being a 'silver bullet'? Or is it?
I guess I'm asking, is it worth pursuing a diagnosis? What benefit will it bring? Are the benefits different if the diagnosis is private as opposed to NHS?
Any advice would be very gratefully received.
