Good morning,I've been a member on her for a little while as we were waiting for the ADHD assessment for my 15 year old daughter. I never posted anything but just read through all the questions and comments that were popping up. I just found it comforting to know we weren't alone in our struggles. With this being all very new to us it was hugely overwhelming and we didn't really know of anyone we could talk to. She has had a horrendous couple of years through high school with them just not understanding her, even though we had told them about our concerns that we were looking into ADHD. We pulled her out of school last Friday and told them she won't be back until she is supported properly. There has just been utter lack of understanding and support for her even after our discussions with them. She has literally hit rock bottom and her anxiety levels are through the roof.
To cut a long story short we finally got confirmation yesterday that she has ADHD. The relief is huge to both us and her and we finally now feel like we can go to school and prove she is not that naughty/disobedient child they think she is, but just hugely misunderstood.
Anyway I just wanted to say thank you, even though none of you were aware this group has been amazing and given me the answers and support I needed by just reading the posts. I will now be on here slightly more I feel going forward.
