Just wondering what others might do.
I've got three kids with SEND, all of whom have diagnoses. One in specialist provision, two in mainstream. Diagnoses have been hugely helpful for all of them, but obtained at (unsurprisingly) enormous effort and heartache.
My other child currently is doing brilliantly at school, and has no diagnosis at all or concerns. BUT I am pretty sure they have ADHD. They are currently in year 2, and I'm seeing a gap open up between up them and their peers in terms of concentration, organisation and activity. I've got ADHD myself (diagnosed as an adult) and I recognise the signs. But they are very bright and love school, thriving, successful friendships etc.
However I know from my own experience that ADHD gets more challenging as kids get older and the demands on them grow. There is no way on earth that my child will get referred into any diagnosis pathway by school or GP now, but is it worth me looking at a private diagnosis so we have it if we need it down the line? Or is this silly to do when they aren't experiencing any problems?
