We have DC1s "end of assessment" and diagnosis due on Tuesday morning. told to expect diagnosis of combined ADHD and review ASD symptoms in six months if not sooner.
I just feel sick. It's been 5 long years of fighting and I'm exhausted at the thought that the fight isn't anywhere near over, is it?
I have no idea what to expect.

I think the fight is never over, but you become more hardened to it. That's the truth; there's no point me bullshitting you and saying that it will magically improve but here, the battle is down to annual refusals by me for my son's support to reduce. That's a lot easier than the battle to get it in the first place. The nature of the battles changes, but I certainly don't get anywhere near as stressed by it as I did.

A dx makes sooooo many fights easier, anyway.

Hope Tuesday goes well.x

Thank you both for your replies

I guess there's this part of me that when I started this journey years ago, was hoping that they could 'fix' her, that someone could make things better, and it's just the recent realisation that that might not ever really happen, if you know what I mean?
