Hello all,
Thank you for replies on my recent posting - " Don't know how to help her anymore".
Our AD attended CAMHS as an adolescent who eventually discharged her without any diagnosis - she was in LA Care at the time, in a care home and was S20.
She is now 19 and ticks along but I believe she has ADD and a mild learning difficulty.
My question is how do I re-open the MH route of persuing enquiry to get her a diagnosis?
When she was at primary school she saw an educational physchologist who stated she was about 5 years behind.
CAMHS stated she did not have ADD as she listened to them and looked them in the eye!!!
The awful things that have happened to her are because she does not learn lessons,she has juvenile criminal convictions she mixes with awful people and although she is doing a level one Health & Social course she struggles with learning.
She has a council flat, SS give her sporadic support - she has a "PA" who is obliged to see her once a month, but mostly everything falls on my and her Dad's shoulders to sort out. SS support ceases in a little over 12 months time when she becomes 21.
Do I speak to her Doctor or what other route is there?
Very many thanks for your time.
