6 year old DD already getting frustrated and irritable now the excitement is over and the torpor of Twixmas is upon us. I struggle with my mental health at this time too. How are we going to make it through (happy-ish) til 8th Jan?!

If parents had to wait for a diagnosis to try to manage their child's condition they'd never support their child. What a daft thing to say. A diagnosis doesn't give a one size fits all approach anyway. To get a diagnosis you need to show what you've done and what hasn't worked too. Not every scattered or overwhelmed child is ND.

The wait for a diagnosis is all the more reason not to put off starting the process if you feel your child may be neurodiverse.
