Just wondering if anyone went private for a ADHD assesment?
My son is 10 and always had difficulties with behaviour and impulstiveness. He currently attends a SEMH special school and is transitioning to a SEMH high school next year. He is on a waiting list for CYPS but (understandably) the waiting list is very long and his behaviour is becoming a huge problem at home as he becomes very aggressive and he's quite a large boy (towers me at 5ft2).
My only worry is that the GP and professionals may not accept the diagnosis and may not prescribe any medication that could be needed. I couldn't afford a private prescription long term and I feel as though id have spent the money for the diagnosis to be rejected anyway.
Also not sure if i do go ahead what type of package to go for - assesment and diagnosis only or all inclusive with check ups and titration If needed?
Any advice would be great!
