Hi, my DS (7) has long suspected ADHD and possible ASD.
We have an appointment very soon with a paediatrician, but I don’t want my son to hear my concerns iyswim?
Unfortunately my ex very clumsily told DS he has ADHD and painted it in such a negative light that DS gets upset if he even hears the term.
I was thinking of typing a list of all his behaviours for the Dr. and asking if I can speak with him/her alone at some point.
Can any parents of kids with ADHD share how you discussed it with your child please?
