No support to some child disabilities

[B3ck89]

Hi all
So my son is 7 and was diagnosed just before he turned 4 with global development delay, he is around 3 years behind - and he can be rather hard work.
I see so much support for children with autism and adhd. But where is the support for gdd, it’s a little disappointing when I really could do with advise/support but I don’t even know where to turn.
All I get told is that gdd is like an umbrella and covers a wide range of things.
He had seen a paed who insists he only has a delay.
He has a EHCP so he does require quite a big support

I'm just angry B3 pay no attention to me letting off steam with other parents who understand how fed up I am.

Whatever the disability a child has is bloody hard work for the parents of that child. And generally you can't quite get it unless you've lived it

@Citadelsofscience your story sounds like ours. My son is high functioning. His school life was marred by horrendous bullying and though he was capable he was in such a state by the end of Yr11, his co-morbid ocd and treatment of that meant that he was unable to sit most of his gcse exams. He came out of school with nothing. He’s now at college and has caught up well with his English and Maths but he has been treated appallingly, as have we. It’s no consolation but, I just hope he can continue to progress at college.
