    Sorry girls, I've had too much on my plate and fell away.

    MR - our paed said to me that ADHD and ASD are related in some way, and often get misdiagnosed as each other because they can share quirks. He isn't convinced that Matilda doesn't have ADHD as well

    LR - It is frustrating. I met another parent in a waiting room once who said this was her 5th assessment... and her daughter was crouched on a chair flapping and rocking. She said no one wanted to diagnose ASD and they were at the end of their coping. Its taken us almost 2 years to get anything diagnosed and now they are throwing heaps of diagnosis at us!

    Matilda's not sleeping again, and its awful. I'm teary all the time because I have nothing to support me when I can't get any sleep. We are up for hours in the middle of the night & I've been working extra shifts and I have family stuff going on in America.... ARGH.
