    I am waiting for an assessment for my son, we always knew he was a bit of handful and had other bits going on, ticks/anxiety, no concentration, but he got on with school/home life. His behavior was discussed with school all through his education, and in the last year he had started to be seen as the disruptive teen, getting pulled up for impulsive behavior etc but the school can not support a child without a diagnosis, so we are now on a very long waiting list, no idea how long and all private options have closed there lists. My son is now mid GCSE's and I wish I had asked for support earlier. There is very much still a stigma around labelling children, but he has been labelled as disruptive anyway, this is not a life limiting or painful disease but it is a neurodiversity that we should not have ignored and I question if the assessment could be done by school (they have provided an observations letter) rather than the long waits for community pediatricians?
