- This call has dominated our thoughts and dreams for over a month. The entire process, reduced down to one day and one ten minute conversation with one doctor, which decides every thing that happens for the rest of Oliver’s life.
I'm 47 mother of three young adult son's, and I have struggled all my life, I have been waiting now for 8months, it's driving me and my family mad, the not knowing, I need to know, I have currently been diagnosed with OCD ptsd fibromyalgia severe recurrent digestive issues and bipolar, which has never felt right, and seems to be common among women who where missed. I have suffered a lot of trauma in my life because I didn't receive any support or understanding and I was labelled as bad. I need this for me. I'm relieved for you child, it's much better to have a definitive understanding of why we are the way we are, because without it the labels others give us are very harmful. Good luck to you all for the future, I'm so very happy for you all.
I hope you find answers soon! I feel like if you feel like you know it’s true then on the balance of probability it is true. When I let some family and friends know about the diagnosis they just said yep we knew that already didn’t we. If things that help autistic people help you too then do what you can now to use those tools.
I feel like saying congratulations but also not sure that’s appropriate 🤣 I am so happy for you to have a diagnosis and Oli will be able to continue to get the support he needs in life.
It feels appropriate, but yeah its a complicated feeling all round. I’m pleased and talking to Oli about it he seems positive. It’s great that there’s support, processes and communities that he can depend on.
I am happy you have your answers. It is definitely a relief when the doctors finally see all the things we see and question as parents.
Definitely! Now the doctor has confirmed it everyone seems a bit more onboard like there’s no doubt now. Which is handy!
Great you have a diagnosis now and know what you are dealing with here's to more progress with the lil man xx
Thanks fingers crossed!
Blue keys for public toilets can get on amazon or in Argos
I had no idea but also didn’t want to get one unless we could prove in some way we were meant to have one. I assumed there were requirements. Thanks!
So glad you finally got an official diagnosis for for Oli. Now you can get the right support for Oli and access the right services available. Congratulations to your family
Thank you!
I'm pleased to hear you now have some answers and hope it will help Olli get the support he needs. I was the same when I finally got a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder because it meant I felt less alone and it opened doors for specialist support. So I get what you mean about being happy about the autism diagnosis.
I'd really like to hear about how the conversation with Olli goes when you discuss his autism diagnosis with him.
I am so glad you got the answer! It is just easier knowing.
Glad Oli got his diagnosis, should really make a change for him, and obviously it’s great that things are done and finished. School sent me home today because of my back pain at the end of lunch, they can only give one paracetamol between 11-2 which quite frankly does not cut it for a 16 year old, and there was no flexibility. I usually carry some but today I couldn’t find them, I’ve been taking daily meds for 9 years I would think I would be trusted with knowing how much paracetamol I need! I was in so much pain I just didn’t know what to do with myself and felt like I was going insane, if it carries on tomorrow my mum is going to get me a doctors appointment. Hopefully Oli will be able to access loads more services now!
Hope your mum can get you in for the doctor! They’ll be able to suggest what can help etc.
For the radar key you can get it them from a mobility shops or Thompson's
Blue keys from amazon n also look up just ausome they do autism clothing n also the sunflower lanyard xxxx
Nice one thanks!
I know what you mean we was relieved when we got my sons diagnosis after so long of fighting and getting accused of it being us a parents etc but I totally get how you are feeling and now they can help him. My son is struggling having a lot of sensory overloads in school and home. Did she mention anything about sensory needs with his asd xx
No not in the call, I guess that’s something we just need to figure out with time. Least we know it is that now so can get better results
That great news you got answers. We knew our son was autistic even at 2 years old well his twin sister was doing well. We got blue badge it good. Have you got autism card or anything. Go to national autistic society they have loads of info and training .
That’s what we’ll be sorting next. Just getting everything we think will be useful in place now we know it’s there. Fingers crossed!
Sheepdog Says that great. We found it very easy to get an d came quickly
Get him into spechel olympics they do different sports like football or swimming or other
Cool il look into that, thanks!
Ahh so glad he got his diagnosis, i know this will be such a relief for you, its just that you have an answer thats all that matters. Let me know how the talking to Oli about it goes, a year after Luke's diagnosis and i still haven't told him, he's always upset about the ADHD so i dont want to add to it.
Bless him, I don’t know how Oli will take it but I imagine he will be kind of indifferent because he won’t fully get it. It is a huge relief knowing now though. I feel like a lot of mystery and cloudiness has been moved so we can get in and support Oli properly.
