ADHD Diagnosis

[Twitwooooo]

DS 12 has tested through school with a high score for ADHD and dyslexia.
Does anyone have any experience of waiting times for diagnosis or what provisions might be offered to help him and us in the long term?
I’m hoping it’ll be diagnosed in time for GCSE’s but going off Google it looks like a long ol’ wait!
I guess I’m just asking if anyone has had any experience of this and if they could share their knowledge of the process etc please?
Also not sure if in correct place to post…

4.5 years for an NHS diagnosis in our area. Most people I know are going private.
Once you get the diagnosis there is very little supports. Although obviously with ADHD medication becomes an option
