I keep hearing how a diagnosis or Label for ADHD/ASD is unhelpful, not useful or even detrimental.
What do you think the benefits are of a diagnosis?

This coming from the Grandparents following my daughter’s recent ADHD diagnosis.

Hate to tell them that the only reason the Grandfather has managed in life to pursue his career and special interests is because he has a wife to stay at home whilst he maintains his routine of golf most days, golfing holidays and going to the gym and god help anyone if that routine gets disrupted!

Also the monologuing and inability to tell if you have literally fallen into a deep snoring sleep as he rambles on about his golf holidays and golf friends you have never met - whilst not ever asking anything or showing any interest in us….

So I guess they are right, I guess people didn’t and don’t have problems if you don’t see and acknowledge them!!!

The Window of Tolerance
Refers to the optimal state between hyper and hypo arousal which is the essential state for any neurodiverse person to be in.

However, the window which is bigger in neurotypicals and those who aren’t in trauma.

For neurodivergents the window can be very small depending on their self care practices such as sleep, food, exercise.

Today my window of tolerance is low and has resulted in numerous meltdowns which isn’t good when kids are at home!!!

I’ve taken time out to lie on my shakti mat to help ease my sore shoulders from too much tension and to activate endorphins. I needed to get out of flight or fight mode.

Recognising your own window of tolerance is a great way to work out your needs and what self care you may have been neglecting - for me it was alone time and the mess has got on top of me!!!

What is your window of tolerance like today?

Right to Choose for Kids

There is no Right to Choose when GP Practice refuse to refer saying the school has to refer.

Schools can’t refer to Right to Choose only GP’s can.

So accessing Right to Choose is impossible if GP’s are refusing to refer kids saying it’s up to the schools!

Anyone else had this problem?

What really stinks is I’ve asked for my daughter to be referred via My Right to Choose to a service that can see her instead of being on a never ending ComPaed wait list. She has already been referred via school & GP but still they won’t do it.

Surely this is illegal? How is this healthcare for children???

Appalling!!!

ADHD & Fathering

How crap is it when a guy in the audience says ‘my mum brought me here, I tick all the boxes, substance abuse, in trouble with the law, I’m now a father and need to be better, I’m on a waiting list, how can I get help to be a better father?’

Summed up the state of the adult adhd service! This chap should be prioritised and his referral should be escalated!
Access to help and support would make a massive difference to him and his family! So sad and makes me so angry when people need help to be and do better and can’t access support that can change lives.

Listening to this song and think it encapsulates what it's like living with undiagnosed ADHD & the silent struggles.
I have felt this sense of drowning most of my life which increased exponentially since having kids.

Since finding out I am neurodiverse, being diagnosed and finally getting (and accepting) the help I needed all along, the feeling of drowning has pretty much gone. I won't lie - it rears its ugly head every now and again when I am at capacity, overwhelmed, and under-resourced - but knowing WHY I am feeling like I'm drowning makes a massive difference.

Weirdly my favourite place is under the sea swimming with sharks.

Under the Water (Deep Dish mix) Lyrics
I can't breathe here anymore
It's been like that for a while
Ev'rything seems strange to me
I feel like a newborn child
And I know I don't belong down here
I guess it's always been the same
I wish I would't have to fear
Under the water, under the water
Ou,you left me drowning
Under the water, under the water,oh, you left me drowning
I tried to grow a mermaids tale
'caus here's a lot of danger
The grey big sharks with long sharp teeth
Would love to catch a stranger
Under the water, under the water
Uo, you left me drowning
Under the water, under the water
Ou, you left me drowning
Can't you see, can't't you see
That I was left to drown
That I was left to drown
Can't you see, can't you see
That I went deep down under
Can't you see, can't you see
That I am deep down under
That I was left to drown, left to drown, left to drown
Can't you see, can't you see
That I am deep down under
I am deep down under
Can't you see
