Introducing myself....

[MUM23ASD]

I have been on mumsnet for almost 5 years....but due to school issues have had to rename myself as i had posted my kids names on here and somone in 'real life' connected to the school worked out who i am.

i'm sure you'll soon work out who i am...but hope you appreciate why i have decided to 'start afresh' ( i have tried simply not posting on her- but i feel lost withou mumsnet...especially the SN bunch as you are my lifeline!)

I have 3 boys- 14,11 & 8. The eldest was dx with ADHD at 7 then AS at 9. The middle one dx AS at 8. The youngest is now finally being assessed- paed looking at either AS/SPLD/ADHD. None are statemeneted- all are at SA+.

DS1 takes concerta for ADHD and all 3 are prescribed melatonin for sleep.

I have OCD and anxiety/depression- undiagnosed AS....but gradually the professionals are beginning to see that i may be AS...

my husband is undiagnosed AS....he has a son from previous marriage who is ADHD/AS...so believe there is a genetic link !
