Dear mum, I encourage you to get him tested It's a very long journey but a necessary one. I wish I had done it before. Long story short,I have 12-year-old twins, boys, and the youngest has ADHD diagnosed last June. I had difficulties accepting medication recommendations, but now that he is taking it, it's life changer and our life is much much better. In school he passed form disrupting and having sanctions every single day to participate in class and bring out all his good ideas. He wasn't having friends and now he comes home happy because he is able to play and share with them effective time. It's a game changer. Of course it's a life time battle but, in a way, gives them the chance to see the good side of things and settle them a bit. It's still a lot to do in emotional development, lack of empathy is also an issue, but we are getting better and enjoying our time together better. I encourage you to go to the gp and ask for referral. One of the best part of the process is that, you as a mum, get lots of effective strategies and advices on how to cope everything better, strategies to settle him, which are difficult to get from somewhere else. Keep up mum, you are doing a great job, no one knows better than you how much you want to see your child enjoying life and be happy. #ReachOut for me any time. Lots of love ❤️ ... View more
