DS self referred for ADHD assessment
Bit shocked really, DS is 21 and at uni. He has struggled a bit, well quite a lot really with one subject even though he excelled at school.
In P5 he was observed in school by the Ed Psych who decided there was no issue although we always thought he showed signs of autism. He and his brother are both dyspraxic. Turns out one of his friends suggested he got checked out and he has been discussing it with the student services and the GP there. Now he is home for the summer he has asked for a referral. All without saying anything to us. I think it's that that I'm more upset about than anything else. Don't know why I'm writing this here really, I don't tend to talk about stuff like this.

I would actually say good for him what a brave young man he’s taking control of his own situation there are not many 21 year olds that do that. I’m sure he will ask and need your support when he’s ready. I would be very proud.

I would also say well done to your son and also to you. It sounds like you have brought up a determined young man. Of course you don't want him to have any problems but if he does and can get a diagnosis then you can get help on how to deal with it.

Would also agree. It takes a certain type (the good type) to recognize that they have or potentially have something that needs investigation and he's gone and done it. Clap on the back
As to not telling you, perhaps he didn't want you to worry unduly until he found out more

Aww thanks, Determined he certainly is and yes, he said he didn't want to worry us. I discussed with him about the Ed Psych going to the school and he had no recollection so it's as well I said as he can now pass that on.
He doesn't want me to go into the doctor with him but says I can wait outside if I like.
